Program: Four Way Test Speech Contest
We watched videos of this year’s local Four Way Speech contest.  All the contestants did a great job.  Each year each club in town sponsors one student to move on to the district level.  This year the finalists that will move on are Joseph Doman, Meg Howard, and James Ehr.  Congratulations to all.  Each student will receive a $200 check from their respective sponsoring club, and the winner of the district competition receives $1,000.  Good luck to these three extremely bright and talented young leaders.
