Lorenz, Williams Place at Area Toastmasters Contests


Courageously facing competitors from five other area clubs, Jenny Lorenz (Nursing) and Tish Williams (Grants) represented the MCC Toastmasters Club in the Area 6 Table Topics and Humorous Speech contests respectively on Oct. 12 at Strong Memorial Hospital.

Lorenz placed first in the Table Topics competition after skillfully answering the question "What was the funniest thing that happened to you today?" with gusto. Table Topics (a part of every standard Toastmasters meetings) are designed to hone a person's impromptu speaking skills.

Williams masterfully delivered a prepared speech, entitled "American English," including accents from Boston to North Carolina. The performance earned her a third place finish.

Check out the next Toastmasters meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 4:45 - 6 pm, in the Warshof Conference Center, Flynn Campus Center, Empire Room (3-209). To find out more, contact club leaders at <
