107th Hakka Toastmasters Meeting



Right in the long weekend of Thanksgiving break,.we thought most of our friends will still be busy entertaining with their own families...so we decided not to push calling for this meeting.  However, it turned out not bad at all, 10 people had shown up in this 107th meeting plus a new Hakka friend, Ms. Teng. 
Josephine prepared quite a few snacks and Sandy also brought her home-madeTaiwanese sausages, which were perfect to go with Oolong tea...before and after our meeting.  We knew everyone was in Holidays atmosphere...and we were having great fun chatting in Hakka...especially with Mrs. Huang's Hakka mountain songs and riddles for guessing.... (**We've done some films to be posted and shared with
all...)
Thomas is the term speaker and he shared with all his most recent experience of visiting Taiwan's wild tea forest in the central Taiwan. Taiwan tea's history could be more dimensional with more tea cultivars that rooted from the local mountains...a long way to go, but it will be a huge impact afterward.

Lisa and Kim Wu are planning to open their house for our 108th Meeting, which will be set on the 12/26.
Please plan for it.
