Try not to laugh, but some Toastmasters have a sense of humor. I've known one or two to crack a joke. If don't believe it, then you probably weren't at the division speech contest. On October 6, 2009, three division clubs convened in a basement conference room at Fidelity Bank to vote on the funniest among them. Yevette Moquin, division governor, mastered the ceremoies and ushered us through the battle of wits. Four contestants competed and one will go on to compete at higher levels and maybe even participate in the international contest. Our contestants were, in order of appearance, Ernest Schreiber, Mike Kornik, Todd Chapman, and Rene Roy.
Ernie coaxed from each of us our latent genius, that apple chomping, over perspiring little savant that we all know has been yearning for freedom. Mike wanted to introduce us to the language of the British, and how it will get you in trouble if you try to us it in America. Todd's story of a winged nocturnal invader evoked the spirit of Halloween and Rene recalled his days as an eager young navy man. The judges voted and awarded Todd Chapman the golden first place ticket. Congratulations Todd!
I'd like to invite you to the next level of competition, the Division A and Division B humorous speech contest. It will be held on October 14, 2009 from 6:30-9 PM at the Raytheon facility in Tewksbury MA. Email for more details.
