Area Contest, Sept 30, 2010

TOASTMASTERS ANNOUNCE AREA SPEECH and EVALUATION CONTEST

A talented public speaker will be chosen when members of three local Toastmasters clubs compete in the annual Area 32 Humorous Speech contest. There will also be a Table topics contest in which contestants improvise a brief speeches.

The contests will be held at the Consumers Power Building in Philomath on Sept 30 at 7 pm. The public is invited to attend. The event is an opportunity to hear some experienced speakers using the skills they learned in their individual Toastmasters clubs.

Winners of the Area contest will move on to compete in the Division contest. Winners at the Division level compete against speakers from across Oregon in the District 7 contest. Our local entrants appreciate a large enthusiastic audience to help prepare them for the next level.

Corvallis contains three of the more than 11,000 Toastmasters clubs around the world. Each club meets weekly to provide a mutually supportive environment in which members practice public speaking. Speech contests are just one more way Toastmasters members “learn by doing".

Toastmasters International is the world’s largest nonprofit educational organization devoted to communication and leadership development. Information about the 3 clubs in Corvallis is at delicious.com/osutm/area32
