Club # 2032 performed very well in today’s Area contests with Elizabeth Mitchell finishing first in a field of four in the Table Topics Contest. She gave a very well organized and witty response to Toastmaster Rachelle Onishi’s question “Is it ever OK to lie to avoid hurting someone’s feelings? Why or why not?” She will next compete in the Division Contest on the evening of April 23 in Aptos.
Arnie Buss finished a very strong second in the International Speech Contest with an outstanding presentation entitled “The most difficult person in the world”.
Carl Thormeyer served as Chief ballot counter, Chief Judge advisor and Parliamentarian. Juliette Ferguson, Tonya Holloway and Moyara Ruehsen served as judges and Fred Sadler was the Contest Chair. The theme for the Area A1 and A2 contests was “Cooperation Conquers” and was reflected in the spirited gathering and strong attendance. Feedback from attendees indicated it was the best area speech contest in memory. Fred Sadler was recognized as "Toastmaster of the Year" for Area A1 by Area A1 Governor Alisha Empleo.
