*Were you at the FRTM Club Contest last week?*
*No? You missed something amazing!*
*I opened with a quote because today I would like to take a minute to talk
about Leadership and what it means and how FRTM exemplifies this trait.*
*Savanna, did an amazing job as a brand new Toastmaster taking on the role
of Contest Chair. It was amazing to watch ~ no fear in the face of
challenges ~ that is Savanna’s strength. She asked critical questions and
went to another Club to help out at their Contest. She had an amazing
mentor in Jennifer Dunne. *
*This is leadership and growth personified.*
*This is just one example of how FRTM allows it’s members to not only
develop their public speaking skills but also allows members to become the
leaders they were meant to be.*
*The FRTM Contest was an amazing event filled with exceptional talent and
a lot of leaders.*
*Thank you to Carbon Valley Toastmasters ~ it was nice to have a couple of
your members attend and help out. (Robin McIntosh, I apologize but I
didn’t get names or email address written down.)*
*It took many leaders to ensure the FRTM Contest went off without a
hitch. From Timers and Vote Counters to Judges and let’s not forget the
fabulously humorous Toastmaster. (You should have seen Jennifer dance!)*
*We even had a guest bring an OLD OLD OLD FRTM banner with ribbons
affixed. *
*To everyone who brought food ~ THANK YOU! Jeff Stoll, you did a great
job organizing one of my favorite parts of any special event *cheers**
*To the Contestants … each of you challenged yourself and delivered
speeches and table topics responses that were exceptional, emotional,
passionate and vulnerable. *
*It wouldn’t have been a contest without you. Thank you for making FRTM a
place to thrive and grow ~ thank you for challenging each of us to step
outside our comfort zones.*
*The folks moving forward to the AREA CONTEST this SATURDAY are:*
*International Speech: Alan Wong*
*Table Topics: Bill Farrand*
*You don’t want to miss the Area Contest. Both of these Contestants are
fantastic and won’t disappoint.*
*Come and CHEER them on.*
*F5/F7 AREA CONTEST *
