Area Speech and Table Topic Contest
Good morning fellow Toastmasters,
The Area Contest we hosted this last Wednesday went extremely well. Thanks to our speakers -- Andrew and Ray -- and those who came out to support them -- as well as all the other contestants and supporters.
A strong turnout got the meeting to a good start, and the audience was treated to strong speeches and table topics. Our club's contestants, Ray Hignell and Andrew Smith were very competitive and the audience would not have been surprised if either had won for the night.
The crowd lingered in cheerful conversations and actions for a long time after the meeting which is an excellent sign to that the event was well received.

2013 a New Year with New Events Scheduled
As 2013 gets rolling, I am looking at a couple events we have coming up.
First, our Club Level International and Table Topic contest is scheduled for April 3rd this year. The event is scheduled to be chaired by Jean, with Monica our Area Governor coming out that evening to be our Chief Judge. Being a club level event, we are planning to let our members practice their skills by taking on some roles, such as judging. Certainly there are practical reason to do this "in house" but certainly it is good practice and experience for our membership, and if you can't practice these roles at our own club, your learning curve would be a lot longer.
Our second event, and one we are very happy to HOST is the Area International and Table Topic contest is scheduled for April10th @ 6:15 p.m. at our normal location at the Masonic Temple. In the case of an Area Contest, we are just hosting the location and the Area will handle the actually contest. In this case, the formality of the event goes up a notch and the roles have to meet the guidelines solidly -- so Judges and so on will be from other clubs.
Contestants, Guests, and Toastmaster Members are all invited to these events. The Area event will have a door fee -- probably $10. We would love to see you out.

Peter Thomas Storytelling Event
On November 27th, Venio Dictum Toastmaster held their 2012-13 club level storytelling event.
At the conclusion of the event, Janet Adam, Don Eppler, and Gary Stempnick shared the background of why this event was name in honor of Peter Thomas. By the sounds of it, Peter was quite the "character" with an adventurous personality and had members amazed as he recounted his adventures when delivering speeches.
Our contestants for this event were: Toban, Janet, and Don. Our chairman of the event was the clubs VP of Pubic Relations, Andrew Smith who ran the event very well. All the speeches ended up being exactly as "billed" as storytelling they were. All unique, entertaining, insightful, and at times humorous.
The winner in the end was our Past President, Don Eppler. Special thanks to the speakers, judges, ballot counters, timers, and avid listeners.
