The theme of last Monday’s meeting was “spatial intelligence.” Rattanakorn, our Toastmasters of the Day acted as a genial host and conducted the entire program, including introducing visiting Toastmasters and visitors. The Toastmaster created an atmosphere of interest, expectation, and receptivity.
Matt gave us tips on how to look better during zoom video call. To ensure that you have the camera at eye level, try putting a smiley face on your laptop lid behind the webcam to help you stay focused.
DTM Arnie, as Topics Master, ask the Topics speakers to tell stories, using 3 random words:
Cat, Window, toothbrush
Mango, ,mobile phone and bedsheet
Dentist, microphone, alcohol

The first speech was by Vinny, who delivered his Level 1 Project 2, entitled “Five Tips to Enhance Positivity” He informed us how he enhanced his positive attitude during lockdown.
June delivered the same project with a speech, entitled “Lessons from a Cup.” She told us how to practice mindfulness as.nothing is certain.
