Hello Fellow Linguists of Listowel and Friends,
On Thursday the Linguists of Listowel held their Humorous and Table Topics contests. We had great attendance and lots of guests. We had guests from other Toastmaster Clubs in our Area, who helped being judges and counters. Our guests were Karen Bott, from the Mt. Forest Club (Dorothy Denis and her husband, Dorothy Bell and Pauline), from the Hanover Club (Trudy Baran, Denise and her husband).

Our Area Govenor, Keith Stoltz did a great job chairing the Humourous contest where we had 5 participants that had everyone laughing with their funny speeches. The particpants were:

Marie McCutcheon - "One Size Fits All"
Sharon D'Arcey - "Family Dynamics"
Heidi Menzi - "Holiday Impressions"
Brent Jemmett - "Funny Things My Dad Said and Did"
Rich Boertien - "Man's Best Friend"

The order the judges determined were Brent Jemmett (1st), Rich Boertien (2nd), and Mari McCutcheon (3rd).

Marie McCutcheon did a great job chairing the table topics contest where we had 5 particpants. The participants were challenged to speak about the word "SUNSET" for at least one minute to a maximum of 2 minutes.

The participants were Rich Boertien, Keith McCluskie, Jane Stoltz, Brent Jemmett and Heidi Menzi. The order the judges determined were Jane Stoltz (1st), Keith McCluskie (2nd) and Brent Jemmett (3rd).

Diane Bender was the Chief Judge for both contests and Keith Stoltz was Sargent of Arms for the Table Topics Contest. Audrey Orth and Marilyn Miller were our timers for both contests. Rich Boertien, Brent Jemmett, Jane Stoltz, and Sharon D'Arcey provided snacks for our intermission and after the meeting.

The first and second place contestants will be heading to the Area Contest on Oct. 20th at Harriston's Community Living Building.

Hope to see you all on Thursday for our next meeting and the start of our Speechcraft program, so spread the word.
