September was a great month at Rio Copa Toastmasters.  We had our first ever Evaluation and Humorous speech contest, hosted the the R3 and R4 Area Contests at Rio Salado, and even placed in the R4 Area contest!   

Our first ever club evaluation contest was held in early September.  Our winner was Andrew Lenartz, second place was Mike Trier, and third place was Steven Martindale.  Rio Copa had our first humorous speech contest a week before the R3/R4 Area Contest and Elliot Cherner was the winner. 

Since Mike and Andrew were unable to attend the Area Contest, Steven Martindale attended to represent Rio Copa Toastmasters.  

 

 

 

R4 Area Contest

Special thanks to the staff at Rio Salado for setting up the room exactly as needed for the R3 and R4 Area Contest on September 27th.  There were many positive  comments from Toastmasters and guests in attendance about the quality of the faclities and attention to detail that the staff took to ensure that the event was setup properly.  

The R3 and R4 Area Contest was held in the Rio Salado Conference Center on September 27th.  Elliot Cherner and Steven Martindale competed against the club winners of the other clubs in the area in the Humorous and Speech Evaluation  Contests. 

Elliot Cherner won second place in the Humorous Speech Contest with his speech about umpiring little league.
