It's nearing that time of year when we need to start thinking up those funny stories. Every fall we conduct a humorous speech contest, and this year's contest is coming up on August 21. Speeches are to be 5-7 minutes, can be on any topic (but they should be a coherent story rather than a series of one-liners), and will be judged according to TI's guidelines. The winner of this contest will move on to compete at the area level. This is your chance to reach for the stars, gather some notoriety, and basically just have a good time.
For everyone else who isn't competing, we will also need the usual assortment of contest roles, including contest master, judges, timers, and at least one vote counter (did I miss any?). It will be a good time for all, so invite your friends and we'll make an event out of it.
Congratulations to our new officers for the 2nd half of 2008. They are:
President............Eldon
VP Education.........James
VP Membership........Fran
VP Public Relations..Angela
Secretary/Treasurer..Rose
Sergeant at Arms.....John
