Club Awesome Toastmasters continued to prove its awesomeness this summer with a strong showing at the Area Contest, where top speakers from our club picked up 3 out of 4 possible first and second place awards in the competitions for humorous speech and evaluation.
Bruce Goldfarb won first place for humorous speech with “My Plants, My Friends” and David Carr won second place in that contest for “Mr. Bunyan Goes to Washington.” You can see a rehearsal version of each of their speeches in these videos.
Lois Margolin won first place in the evaluation contest, where Toastmasters compete to give the best evaluation of the same test speech. Because an evaluation is also a sort of speech, the challenge is to prepare a well-organized short speech very quickly.
