"Spring Fever" has hit Top of Texas Toastmasters! This past Saturday we held our spring club contest with five competitors, numerous members acting as timers, judges, and ballot counters, and a guest!
We heard three inspirational International Speeches from Marshall Lehr, Aparna Valluri, and Regina Clay. Marshall told us how his mom used a yellow backpack he got as a child to teach him that he can do anything he wants to do and be anything he wants to be! Aparna spoke about the strange gifts she received from her grandmother, a remote control and a set of keys, and how these gifts have guided her through her life. Regina inspired us to take control of our emotional vikings.
Our two Tall Tales speeches were given by DeAnna Wolf and Larry Nickerson. DeAnna was a secret operative saving the world from invading aliens with her rocket launcher and laser gun. Larry, or Sir Henry, was an ex CIA agent saving the world with his black and green sparkly scarf and yellow hard hat! Both speeches were quite entertaining and had the audience laughing!
After competitor interviews and light refreshments, the club contest winners were announced. For the International speech contest, Regina Clay was the second place winner and Aparna Valluri was the first place winner! For the Tall Tales contest, Larry Nickerson was the second place winner and DeAnna Wolf was the first place winner. Aparna and Deanna will move on to the Area 14 “Speakin’ Safari” Spring Contest to be held on Saturday, March 29 at the Benbrook Public Library at 12:00 pm.
