Last night, Eagle hosted the Area Speech Contest.....Once again, we showcased why we are the premier club in our area, providing an enthusiastic audience, a couple of contestants, and plenty of food and refreshments!
Congratulations to the Eagle participants! Chris Gaffney moves on to the next round in the International contest.....His speech "Dumpster Full of Memories" is helping him build his "Trophy Case of Memories"! Jaime Fischer was the Table Topic runner up......not bad for a Toastmaster Rookie! Jaime not only advanced her craft as a speaker, but maybe she'll be able to talk her way out of a speeding ticket!
Thanks to all of you that participated! At the risk of missing some names, I would like to recognize some of our participants. Thom Knowlton served as our Contest Master, Richard Freeman as our SAA, and Jacqueline Fuller served as our Refreshment Master, becoming a budding photographer in the process!
So many of you contributed to our contest in multiple roles....Serving as a functionary, providing food and refreshments, and being an audience member. They say 90% of life is just showing up. Being an audience member is a huge way of making our contest a vibrant celebration of Toastmasters!
The next contest round is the Division contest taking place at Eversource on 4/13.....Please consider coming to the contest and rooting for Chris!
