Clubs from Bolton, Alliston, Orangeville and Bradford competed, and while competition was stiff, Speak for Success came out on top. At Bolton's club, which meets at Albion-Bolton Community Centre, the various contestants competed and made the audience laugh, telling stories of bridesmaid chaos, technology family nightmares, farm life experience through the eyes of city slicker and more. The entertainment was in high gear. The judges had a challenging time evaluating the speakers. Table Topics is an interesting part of the contest, where contestants are given a subject and they need to spontaneously develop a speech that is one to two minutes in length. Again the contestants challenged the judges with the subject “Change.” Contestants managed to build their stories, entertaining the audience. Much laughter filled the room. The results were a big win for Speak for Success. Annette Lavigne won both the Humorous Speech Contest and the Table Topics Contest. Tim Norton from Speak for Success placed second in Table Topics and third in the Speech contest. Jake White from Orangeville was second in the Humorous Speech Contest and Natalie Merritt came in third in the Table Topics from Orangeville. Lavigne will advance to the Division M Contest, with hopes of competing in District 86 Fall Conference where the champion for the 2015 Humorous Speech and Table Topics Contest will be announce. It will be held this year at Blue Mountain in Collingwood Nov. 13 to 15.
