From the Organizing Chairperson myself, the event was successful and achieved the program goals. As I'm totally new in toastmasters, there might a few things those overlooked and should be improved in future. The most important thing is everybody learnt and built their leadership skills. My greatest appreciation of course goes to all who attend the event as it wont be succeed without your presence. I really look forward to see all of you in our club afterwards. Yet, I should give credits to members (Lucy, Doreen, Charlotte,Glenn & fatihah) who helped me so much in order to see this event success. Then, now I understand why our President choose that phrase for our club motto. Yes, "Success is Ours"!
