Table Topics is a traditional part of Toastmasters and enables members to practice impromptu (off the cuff) speaking.  For the contest each contestant is asked the same question and judges determine the winner based on specific criteria such as speech development, effectiveness, vocal variety, and language used.

Congratulations to all four contestants that competed!!!
