Effective Speaking, District Finals, were
hosted by the St George Lions Club on March 2, 2013 at the St George Public
School.
The event went like clockwork, under the
capable supervision of chair, Ernie Kaethler.
The
school principal was enthusiastic and cooperative and assisted in
every aspect of the day's proceedings.
Lions from District A15 were on hand to
assist.
Lunch of pizza from one of two ‘best’
pizza places in town, was scrumptious – indeed it lived up to expectations.
From the
morning Java to the snacks and beverages…all engineered with
precision and superbly orchestrated.
There
were French competitors in every category except the Seniors.
The speeches were par-excellent! The youth
did us proud! They exhibited such leadership potential that we know they will
be capable leaders in the future. Congratulations, contestants! Félicitations!
