Terrific turnout for Table Topics contest

Front row: Linda Coleman, Melessa Baker, Holly Trinh, Saraí Garcia.
Back row: Phillip Silas, Antoinette Silas, LaShawn Carter, Ron Baker.

Eight brave souls stepped forward at tonight's Table Topics contest, and each moved forward in his or her journey toward improved communication.

The question each addressed was "What effect did your childhood have on your life?" Those in attendance heard a wide variety of answers ranging from being a middle child to  growing up in harsh economic conditions and how strength was born of it.

After the votes were tallied, LaShawn Carter was our winner with Saraí Garcia as runner up. If LaShawn is unable to compete in the Area 12 contest on March 26, Saraí will represent Afterburners instead.

Antoinette Silas, LaShawn Carter and Saraí Garcia won the top three places.

Next week we'll hold our International Speech contest. Anyone may participate who has completed at least six manual speeches in club. Speeches must be 5-7 minutes long, and can be on any topic.

Will you take the opportunity to advance in your journey by competing next week?
