Blast for March 28

We had a great meeting March 21.  We learned about Dawn's early life and values from her IceBreaker Speech and Ken T gave us an excellent educational on debating, to prepare us for the Club's debate meeting April 4th.  During our meeting, Jane Danoczi finished all the requirements for her Competent Leader designation.  Congratulations to Jane, a great accomplishment!!

If you have any green clothes, the theme for March 28 is St Patrick and we have two prepared speeches; Julia and Tanya. 

The following week we have another two prepared speeches; Dawn and Bonnie

The Week of April 4th is our exciting debate with the topic:"That there be mandatory re-certification of Saskatchewan drivers every 5 years"  Jane said that Tony and Julia have not confirmed their participation yet, so she is still open for volunteers in this event. Jane also requires a Chief Judge for the event. Everyone not on the program will be involved in judging as per the judging sheet.

April 11th we have 2 speakers Dawn and Melissa.  This is the first meeting for Melissa following the birth of her baby.

March 31 Jeremy, as winner of our club's Evaluation Contest will be representing Prairie Schooners in the Evaluation Contest and Tanya, as winner of our club's International Speech competition will be representing our club in the Area competition.  The competition will be held at the Cliff Wright Library. Registration starts at 12:30. Let's all try to be there to support Tanya and Jeremy!

Thank you very much to Bonnie  who will be sending the weekly blast for the next 3 weeks while I am on vacation.  If there is anything you want your fellow club members to know during that time, please tell Bonnie.  As always, if you have to be away or if you want to do a speech, please contact Jane.

I'll close with a couple of Irish Blessings:

“As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters never point in the wrong direction!”

“May God bless and keep in good health your enemies’ enemies.”
