Club Contest

We finally had our Club Contest for the International Speech and Evaluation Contest. Jean Schmidt hosted the event as the Toastmaster of the morning.

Roger Wells and Darlene Burrill competed for the right to represent the club as a speech contestant for the Area Contest. Darlene spoke first - Living With Tragedy. Roger was next - Two Minor Events.

Next up was the Evaluation Contest. Lorylee Lejon from Soundwaves Toastmasters in Des Moines was our Guest Speaker. She gave a seven minute speech about using a vision board to make your dreams come true. The three evaluation contestants were (in the order they spoke): Darlene Burrill, Theresa Frasch, and Roger Wells. Each one of them gave a thoughtful and thorough evaluation of Lorylee's presentation.

Our congratulations go to Roger Wells for coming in First Place in the Speech Contest, and to Theresa Frasch for coming in First Place in the Evaluation Contest. We wish them luck as they move onto the Area Contest!
