105th Hakka Toasmasters Meeting (9/26/2009) @ Baldwin Park

Hot ! Hot! Hot!
The heat wave is continuously hitting Southen California today! It is over 105 degree outside, and inside the meeting room, it is not less hot at all even with air-conditioning on ...
Our 105th meeting went on with surprises!
Brother Peng and Sister Su did an excellent presentation - demo and explanation, very informative and plus great teas they brewed and served to all. Many photos and video clip to record their great performance.
Lisa did her evaluator's assignment with her very funny describtion.
Ivan led the whole meeting process as our MC, and Josephine served as timer.
New friends, Rev Thomas Chen and his wife came in as the first time attendee. We really look forward to their active participation...
Mr. James Leu and his wife joined us for the second time since last Descember. We have planned to invite him for one presentation soon...He also helped us to do the video taping for the tea presentaion...
Sister Fan showed up with her new toy, a walking stick along with her recovery from last year's accident...Her son Justin stayed the whole meeting with us to learn about The Art of Tea...Glad he did so.
Mrs. Chee popped up after quiet a few months' no show...She made one big pot of green bean soup to help cool everyone off...but unfortunately, no bowls available on site to serve...
Ivan's parents did join us this month...Not to mention our regular gangs...Mrs. Huang Wen, Mr. Lai, Lisa & Kim, Ivan, Wen & Nancy... A full house packed in a tiny conference room. Exactly what I mean: HOT ! Simply a great meeting. We got chance to practice our mother tongue, and Brother Peng and Sister Su got chance to present their Cha-Do in Hakka. Thanks to their nice teas. Wait a minute, it is Moon Festival coming up...Wen & Nancy did bring the moon cakes to share with all...and how can I forget to mention about the famous Mochi made by our captain Madam Hunag Wen Wentze.
Enjoy many good photos and the video.  See you all next month!
