To 2021, TOAST.
This is the first on-line regular meeting for DATMC in 2021. Very excited to see itturns out to be a success which comes from many contributing factors including but not limited to the sufficient preparations. Here special highlight put on the efforts of Survey on DATMC Regular Meeting in Feb 2021 launched by the officer team before the meeting. More than half of the members expressed their sayings via the survey, and was fully respected and valued. To me, this survey could also say a truth: express your ideas bravely since what if it has the power to change the world.
We do because we care.
Special Moments
This is a special meeting not only because of it is the first on-line one in 2021 but also because some special moments created during the meeting.

Not limited to the guests introduction only this time, self introduction from the members also make the moment more enjoyable and relaxing. It is always fantastic to know one’s secrets even from the people you know somehow.

Toast Time
What are toastmasters good at? Toast of course, at least we practice to be good at.Today, we’ve got an great time for this. As proposed by TM Leon, all the participants hold their lovely and unique cups behind the screen, but toast together.

3rd, to this world, wish ita better and more prosperous year. TOAST!
Always admire Leon’s vision to make things bigger. If I were the TM, I might thought of Toast 1 & 2, but never 3 which actually if you think deep really is the thing we could sincerely wish and expect. Thank you Leon, for leading this special moment.
Table Topic Section
Congratulations Kyle, you make this section a success even starting from joyful festival featured background. What a great first impression. Besides, I must say the individual topics are so much enjoyed. You excellently inspired the speakers to open the golden box of past memories, consider clearly and calmly the present and look forward with hope about the future. What I was impressed the most is your conclusion part which showed your strong ability of carefully listening and smartlyconcluding. You were like a pearl picker when you retold the TT speakers' speeches, like picking up every shining pearls of each table topic speaker and make us feel so cherished. Thank you.
Let’s see those peals together.
Donald’s favorite memory about Chinese New Year when he was a kid was the red envelope.If there were a time machine, Donald would fly back to the golden time. And for sure he would not be alone since many of use would follow him.
Adah,a boy’s mom, who create a Santa for her kid and also educated his kid to be aSanta for other kids. Teach the kid to see this world himself/herself, enjoy the feeling of “You are special” and also treat this world with love. What agreat mom you are in my mind.
Prin, has a lot of paper to complete as graduate student, and also expect to do something different and to improve especially in his last year of student life. Enjoy please and hope to see a more confidence you in the future;
Lisa,a girl who was very independent, wish to spend her own money and bring her whole family to Europe. You look so quite, but inside you sound so powerful. Go ahead; your dream will definitely come true if you stick to it.
Lavender, such an unique plan to celebrate your next Spring Festival in 2022, stay the whole day in a library and enjoy the moment of yourself. Go away the naught husband and kid,go away the never-end family chores. Enjoy being alone.
Dan,the table topic evaluator, is like a pearl polish master, recognize the shining parts of each speaker and also help them to remove away what seems not gorgeous . You would know what a great job you did if you looked at those valuable comments you provided: focus on one thing, make conflict bigger, go specific and use thepower of pause, more efforts on why, add more passion…

DATMC is unique in panel discussion which enables speakers to receive maximum feedback for 1 single prepared speech. This section is always sharp but also full of energy. I’d like to call it fire and love. Below I mixed the shining points and rooms for improvements commented to two prepared speakers Adah andJerry. Hope all of us can take something back.
