第一次我們選擇在台南市文教中心,成功大學校園腹地舉辦。會前從印製傳單到設計議程,分配工作,人人都動了起來。會友
因為投入而對我們的組織更有向心力。只是,當天天公不作美,竟下起雨來,但是我們還是自得其樂,不但將會議開得精彩有趣,結束之後,還去吃感恩節大餐。演講會自我激勵、全然互相支持的文化充分展現出來。
The very first time
we chose the venue in National Cheng-Kung University, which is the
culture-education center in Tainan City. Before the event, we printed
the flyers, designed the agenda and distributed our work. Everyone was
involved. Members felt the stronger fellowship toward our organization.
Unfortunately, it rained on that afternoon. But we still kept the happy
mood and finished our interesting demo meeting successfully. All members
even went on a Thanksgiving Feast after the meeting. The spirits of
Toastmasters, self-stimulating and supportive to each other, were all
well-displayed.
今年我們的活動更得到新營扶輪社的全額贊助,及台南市文化中心的免費場地借用。我們精心準備了點心、飲料、獎品,也吸引了眾多聽眾共襄盛舉。也因為K部幽默演講比賽剛結束,所以我們邀請參賽選手再比賽一次,也讓觀眾票選自己心目中的第一名。會後,不但辦聚餐來連絡感情,而且也舉辦檢討會,真心檢討優缺點並提供想法,相信下一年度能更成功。
This year we got
further fully financial support from Sing-Ying Rotary club. We also got
free utilization in Tainan Cultural Center Square. Therefore, we
attracted lots of people with snacks, drinks and free gifts. Moreover,
we asked the contestants from the humorous speech contest in Division K
to join the event and practice their speech one more time. To get the
audiences more involved, we let them vote for their ideal speaker. After
the event, we held a dinner party to thank all the member helpers. We
also had some discussion and received some valuable feedbacks for our
further improvement.
此戶外開講活動舉辦了兩次,也打出更多的知名度。此舉也獲得台南市崇她社認同,甚至願意支持我們明年此活動的經費;此外,我們也規劃事先連絡報社並安排記者採訪,讓演講會的能見度更廣。
The outdoor demo
meetings were held for 2 times and successfully broadcasted our TM
organization. Our efforts attracted the attention of Tainan Zonta club,
and they are willingly to give us financial support next year; besides,
we also planned to contact reporters to do the interview next year so
that we can make the society know us better through the report of local
newspapers.
結語和未來期望~
Conclusion and future expectation:
戶外開講參與的大都為老中青三代,讓社會大眾更了解我們此一國際性的組織。會友也能將平時所學應用出來,廣邀家人、朋友、同事來參與,無形中拉近會員與大眾間的距離。尤其,更多社會團體也共襄盛舉加入贊助經費,可以嘉惠更多人投入自我成長,成為領袖的行列,真是史料所未及的。
The participants of
the event were from all generations. Therefore, participating in the
activity helped people understand our organization better. Members could
show their public speaking skills learnt from our clubs, and invited
their families, friends and colleagues to join us. Thus, it contributed
to the goal of getting closer to the public. Moreover, even social
groups joined us and gave us financial support. That would not only
benefit more people, but also encourage them to walk into the field of
self-growing and being a leader. That was really out of our expectation
when we first came up with the idea of outdoor demo-meeting.
未來,我們會朝著三語(國
語、台語和英語)共同發表
,更貼近大眾的需求和興趣走,相信會更成功將演講會推廣出去。
In the future, we
will use tri-lingual in our demo-meeting- Chinese, Taiwanese and English
so as to match the needs and interests of the public. We believe that it
will help push our Toastmasters International into the crowd more
successfully.
