CL Toastmasters Club hosts Speech Contest

The Canyon Lake Toastmasters Club hosted the Toastmasters International Division C, areas five and six, International Speech Contest and Evaluation Contest on Saturday, Apr. 7, in the Magnolia Room at the country club.

Two members of the Canyon Lake Toastmasters Club, Mike Irvin and Vince Sweeny, and Canyon Lake resident Debbie Morton of the Menifee Toastmasters Club were among the competitors. Mike placed second in the Evaluation Contest, Vince ran over the time limit in the Speech Contest and was disqualified and Debbie placed first in the Speech Contest. Her topic was “Your But in your Dreams,” an inspiration speech about using the word “and” instead of “but” to create more possibilities.

“Thank you to Maureen Smith and David Balch for putting on a great contest and Bill Evans for helping to set up and clean up,” said Mike.
