Certification Ceremony of TOST 2009 (6/27/2009)

On the evening of June 27, 2009...after our trip back from Guansi...
Everyone took a shower and get ready to the restaurant - Shui Min Lou, for our Certification Ceremony. On behalf of TTMA, Norman and Ted did prepare gifts for every member. We got an beautiful Porcelain Gongfu Tea Set, one TTMA Cupping Set, plus 4 tins each of our own Signature Pouchong and Oriental Beauty, that we did partially hands on making them. (Bob and Cori brought their tea to share with everyone...and Josephine and I have noticed that along our entire trip Kirsten did present the gift she brought to the owners of the places we visit..these are something so nice to be remembered.) Our last course for the farewell dinner are two large bowls of Jade Oolongs, another tea tasting to complete the study. (Greg volunteered to serve for everyone to show his appreciation...) There were so many touching words shared among "graduates" and our sponsors "TTMA"...
We also noticed that Ken will soon be chairing STI. We sincerely wish Norman and Ken, the two chiefs for STI & TTMA can work out certain meaningful programs to serve both organizations' members...SOON...
