3. District Officer Training... Every new term, district officers will be trained in advance before they start taking charge of their duty in full force and our Division K Governor was there too and he is already equipped with the required skill to lead the division to a whole new level. Good Luck to him and the whole Division K!

5. Toastmasters International President Elect had made his appearance in Division K! For everyone info, Dr John Lau, DTM is the 1st Malaysian to be the International President Starting from August 2012. As mentioned earlier, he was at the Tawau Mandarin Toastmasters Club's installation. What a lucky one! 

6. The first TLI (Toastmasters Training Institute) was successfully held at Politeknik Kota Kinabalu Auditorium ULPL, Sepanggar on 29th July 2012 & it was organized by chairperson is the Area K1 Joanna Liew, ACB.

There were around 96 members coming all over Division K to make this event awesome with Training covered by Division K Governor, ACB, ALB with the topic Club Success Wisdom from Homer Simpson & LGET Datin Grace, DTM with the topic Attracting New Member - Using Word of Mouth Marketing.

Apart from that, our District Governor too, has delivered his District message to the whole Division. Right after the training was over, all the clubs leaders are break into groups during the Breakout Session. The whole session ended at around 2.00pm. 

Well! That's one whole lot of examples to start with... phew...
