Speech Contest Night!    
Table Topics and International Speech

Tim Tonkovic as Contest Master ran a great contest.  There were five contestants in the Table Topics portion and three contestants in the International Speech portion.  The winners will compete March 27, 2010 in the Area International Speech and Table Topics Contest.  That contest will be held at the Peninsula Workforce and Development Center at 600 Butler Farm Road in Hampton.  The scheduled time is 2 to 5 pm.

Chief Judge John Harman directed Judges Stacey Wallace and Lavorise Love for this club contest.

"It was a cold and rainy night.  You had just settled down with a good book by the fire, when you heard a strange noise outside...."  The preceding sentence was the set-up for the Table Topics.  Each participant had minimum one minute to two minutes thirty seconds, maximum, to flesh out their take on that statement.  Contestants drew for speaking order.  Stan Dalziel, Frank Connelly, Nancy Hogg, Jessica Ledbetter and Tom Delbridge were the Table Topics contestants.  Jessica placed first, Frank Connelly placed second and Tom Delbridge placed third.

International Speech contestants were Frank Connelly, Wade Miner and Stan Dalziel.  Stan placed first, Frank placed second and Wade Miner placed third.

Jessica Ledbetter and Stan Dalziel will go on to compete at the Area Speech Contest on March 27th.  Good Luck!!!  Remember to come out and support Jessica and Frank on Saturday, March 27.

There were 22 in attendance with one guest.
