This Thursday, TME Jenny Ni CC CL will lead us in a fun-filled meeting.
Table Topics Master Joyce Hu CC CL will warm up our speaking skills by challenging us to give impromptu speeches.
Remember the grammarian report that kept the audience laughing throughout it? Larry Schuster will be training at the District 85 Annual Conference in May. We’re honored that he’ll give CAT a preview of this workshop!
Learn how to use humor and exaggeration to correct and improve grammar problems in your club. In this workshop, you will find that a grammarian’s report no longer needs to be an unmemorable list of grammar and word usage errors. Using humor, Larry will show how to make routine grammar and word usage problems come alive in a way you will not forget. Check out his very new Shanghai Grammar Blog.
We’ll have speeches from Aky, KC and guest Fei Hong from the Leadership club.
Our newest member Carmel Valencia CC CL will share her thoughts on our meeting during her GE report. IEs include Susan Zhou DTM, Carlo Wolff ACB ALB, and Bill Wang ACB.
Don’t miss this meeting!

CAT had a great meeting last night – great new venue, lots of guests, the most entertaining grammarian report ever, three people honored for achieving a new TM educational award, a DTM created… we’re exciting to be starting 2010 with lots of positive energy!
My question for you is – what can CAT help YOU with this year?
Is your goal to get another 10 speeches down? Do you want to compete in the international speech contest? Become a better trainer? Complete your DTM? Put on a TM event?
Do you want to train on a specific topic? Or give a speech to an advanced group to receive a bit tougher evaluation?
Please let us know! CAT can provide support in many ways!
We’re looking forward to 2010!
