International Speech and Table Topics Contest

Fellow Top O' The Rock Toastmasters,

We had our Club contest yesterday for the International Speech and Table Topics.

Excellent job by all of our contestants: Jemerson Diaz, JoAnne Heinrich, Andrea Siracusa and Tom Snead.

Special thanks to our member and Past District 47 Governor Wanda Brown for her excellent job as Contestmaster.

Congratulations to:
Tom Snead who won both the International Speech and Table Topics and Andrea Siracusa who took second place in both contests. Tom and Andrea will go on to compete at the Area 12 Contest on Saturday, March 7, 2009.

Our contestants need your help – come to the area contest to cheer on our winners and help them in possibly moving on to the next level. Our Area Governor is also looking for help for the contest. Lisa is looking for Vote Counters, Check-In assistance and Raffle assistance. If you are interested in helping please contact Lisa at LHethington@jaa.aero. We really hope that members from our Club will take part in helping with the construction of the contest.
