Dear JTC-ers:

How far are you in your public speaking journey?

When we climb a mountain, we normally aim for the peak. Why? Because we expect to be rewarded perhaps with a sunrise, a breathtaking view, or even just a sense of accomplishment. Where are you in climbing your public speaking mountain? What kind of rewards do you want to give to yourself?

It's that time again, to take a big leap, to reach for higher ground, and to soar and roar as a speaker. I am inviting all members to join the HUMOROUS SPEECH and EVALUATION Club Contest, which will be conducted:

When : Monday, 24 Aug 2009
Where : PB&Co, Menara Imperium, 29th floor (our usual weekly meeting place)
Time : 06:30 – 09:00PM

You can participate as the following:
1. Humorous Speech Contestant (minimum 3 people): speech is 5-7 minute and to
be original.
2. Evaluation Contestant (minimum 3 people)
3. Chief Judge (who will be in charge of getting 5-7 judges)
4. Tally counters (minimum 2 people)
5. Timer (minimum 1 person)
6. Sergeant of Arms (minimum 1 person)

Eligibility:

1. All members with good standings and have delivered their BM#1 are eligible to compete in both Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest (you can be a contestant in both), except those who are current and immediate past District and International officers. The winner for each contest will then represent JTC to compete in the Area Level.
2. To be a Chief Judge or Judges, it's preferable to that you have attended two or three area-level contests (or higher) to learn what to expect and to give yourself a basis for comparison.
3. Anyone is eligible to be a tally counter, timer, or Sergeant of Arms.


“I want to join, but I am unfamiliar with the contest and do not know how to prepare!”

Don't worry, I myself joined the international speech contest only a few months after I became a TM member and have found tremendous benefits in doing so. Most importantly, I have met great mentors in JTC along the way, whom have helped me a great deal. Start thinking about a topic and write your speech. There will be more information about the contest in the next meetings, so keep your eyes and ears open.

I will be the Contest Chair, so please let me know if any of you is interested in taking a role, especially if you want to be a contestant.


There will be more than one peak in your journey, but only if you decide to start climbing that you will find each peak gives you better and brighter view.

Cheers,
JTC VP Education CC Vanessa
