					Thank you for organizing such a 
					wonderful convention. 
					
					Hearty congratulations to you 
					and your army of committee members, for an excellent job. 
					
					All of you deserve a good pat on 
					your back. 
					
					Suntec was a good choice and I 
					am sure you can organize an International Toastmasters 
					Convention here in the future.  After all we have seasoned 
					organizers so perhaps you can bid for it in the future. 
					
					On the whole everything went off 
					smoothly.  The Suntec Chefs did an excellent job too and 
					everyone enjoyed all the meals.  Our compliments to them. 
					
					Congratulations to you and 
					Michael again for a fantastic convention.

																			Dear 
																			Fellow 
																			Toastmasters, 
																			
																			
																			  
																			
																			
																			At 
																			the 
																			recent 
																			D80 
																			Convention 
																			we 
																			heard 
																			outstanding 
																			speeches 
																			from 
																			among 
																			the 
																			world’s 
																			best 
																			speakers. 
																			We 
																			participated 
																			directly 
																			or 
																			indirectly 
																			in 
																			some 
																			events 
																			as 
																			well. 
																			And 
																			we 
																			witnessed 
																			some 
																			of 
																			our 
																			fellow 
																			members 
																			from 
																			Raffles 
																			Town 
																			Toastmasters 
																			showcasing 
																			their 
																			talents 
																			too 
																			in 
																			various 
																			forms 
																			and 
																			capacities. 
																			We 
																			could 
																			say 
																			we 
																			stood 
																			tall. 
																			Wearing 
																			that 
																			quality 
																			label 
																			associated 
																			with 
																			our 
																			Raffles 
																			Town 
																			was 
																			ipso 
																			facto 
																			an 
																			instant 
																			credential 
																			for 
																			any 
																			and 
																			all 
																			of 
																			us 
																			present.
																			
																			
																			 
																			
																			
																			  
																			
																			We 
																			had 
																			Lynda 
																			(Editorial/Publicity/Opening 
																			Ceremony), 
																			William 
																			(Sponsorship, 
																			Venue/Hospitality/ 
																			Logistics), 
																			Jenny 
																			(Venue/Hospitality/Logistics),
																			
																			Angie 
																			(Venue/Hospitality/Logistics/Credentials), 
																			Catherine 
																			(Welcome 
																			Night/Gala 
																			Dinner/Credentials) 
																			who 
																			either 
																			led 
																			or 
																			joined 
																			a 
																			sub-committee 
																			to 
																			support 
																			the 
																			Convention. 
																			They 
																			played 
																			their 
																			individual 
																			roles 
																			and 
																			leadership 
																			skills 
																			at 
																			their 
																			own 
																			times 
																			and 
																			expense 
																			off 
																			stage, 
																			and 
																			remained 
																			incognito. 
																			Well 
																			a 
																			few 
																			even 
																			went 
																			on 
																			stage 
																			to 
																			display 
																			their 
																			agility 
																			skills 
																			in 
																			combination 
																			with 
																			the 
																			rest 
																			to 
																			show 
																			their 
																			collective 
																			efforts, 
																			as 
																			shown 
																			in 
																			the 
																			attached 
																			picture 
																			(for 
																			Lynda 
																			– in 
																			striking 
																			red, 
																			Angie 
																			– in 
																			brilliant 
																			yellow 
																			and 
																			Jenny 
																			– 
																			pure 
																			white, 
																			front 
																			row 
																			right). 
																			There 
																			were 
																			there 
																			really 
																			beyond 
																			the 
																			call 
																			of 
																			the 
																			duty. 
																			They 
																			had 
																			their 
																			joys 
																			in 
																			the 
																			dances 
																			yet 
																			they 
																			all 
																			made 
																			it 
																			to 
																			wear 
																			that 
																			Quality 
																			Label… 
																			
																			
																			  
																			
																			
																			Join 
																			me 
																			in 
																			congratulating 
																			a 
																			job 
																			well 
																			done 
																			to 
																			all 
																			these 
																			high 
																			fliers 
																			from 
																			Raffles 
																			Town 
																			Toastmasters! 
																			Cheers. 
																			
																			
																			  
																				Kim-See Teo, ATM-S, CL, RP Charter President (2003-2004) Raffles Town Toastmasters
