\"2nd<\/a><\/p>\n

HUMOROUS SPEECH & EVALUATION Contests
\nDivision B, District 45<\/p>\n

October 4, 2014
\nRockport Opera House
\nRockport Maine, US<\/p>\n

\"Venue<\/a><\/p>\n

Two speaking-contests were conducted by
\nDivision B, of District 45, of Toastmasters International.
\nThis Division comprises all of Maine and part of coastal southern New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

HUMOROUS SPEECH Contest<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

I won 2nd Place for my speech titled,
\nHow Do You Spell That?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It was fun enlisting the audience to ask the title-question out loud throughout the speech.

EVALUATION (speech) Contest<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

I won 2nd Place for the Evalution<\/em> I had presented off-the-cuff for a target-speech (which all contestants observed and evaluated).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My own specific goals for these two contests were mostly centered as being preparation for the INTERNATIONAL SPEECH<\/em> Contest coming in the Spring 2015. As I will not be able to attend the District 45 Fall Conference<\/em> on October 24-26, 2014, in Prince Edward Island, Canada, I am perfectly fine with finishing with 2nd Place here.<\/p>\n

Although I am certainly not complaining, I will admit that it is not easy to hold two<\/em> trophies and two<\/em> certificates at the same time!<\/p>\n
