Angi Wins Area A-1 Table Topics Contest!

Congratulations to our very own Angi Anderson, who walked away with the 1st place trophy in the Area A-1 Table Topics Contest on Saturday. The competition was tough and against some very seasoned Toastmasters, but she prevailed with a very uplifting answer to an extremely tough question. Second place went to long-term Toastmaster Mary Jeanne Vincent, representing Monterey TM #934.

Fred Sadler also did himself proud with his International Speech Contest entry about how to overcome his fear of public speaking. It was the best speech Fred ever gave, but alas, he was up against some very tough competition. Winner was John Lente from Bayview Toastmasters, who spoke of his experiences in Iraq. Second was Barry Kilzer of TGIF Club, with his "southern preacher" parody on the TM Communications and Leadership manual.

Area Governor Arnie Buss also presented the award for "Area A-1 Toastmaster of the Year" to a very deserving Rachelle Onishi of Bayview.

NPS TM members Glenn Tolle and Carl Thormeyer served as International Speech Contest Toastmaster and Chief Judge, respectively.

NEXT: Division A Contest at 1PM Saturday 14 April in Salinas. Details to follow.
