Meeting #910

Decisions making

DateTuesday, 9 January 2024
Word of the daybe determined to

A Night of Last-Minute Pivots

Meeting 910 tested the club’s resilience. The original TME, Rita, had to withdraw hours before the meeting due to a family medical emergency. Sheya stepped in to host. One speaker slot also opened up after Leah fell ill the day before.

“各位抱歉,家人突然身体不舒服,我现在得带她去医院 今晚的主持工作参与不了了”

“万能Olivia”

With no projector available and only a whiteboard, Stella prepared the agenda at Poly Theatre and DC helped get it printed just in time.

Three Speeches on Choices

Jingjing explored “Getting out of the cave,” a reflection on breaking free from comfort zones. Becky shared practical wisdom on buying clothes, and Kayla delivered “Rose with thorn,” examining decisions that come with trade-offs. The word of the day, “be determined to,” tied the evening together around the theme of making and committing to decisions.

Behind the Scenes

The General Evaluator Eleven arrived late and asked others to cover briefly. Between role swaps, last-minute printing, and a missing ribbon after the meeting, the evening was a reminder that the best meetings are the ones that almost didn’t happen.
