Winners All!

On March 12 and 19th, CTI members enjoyed our spring speech contests: International Speech and Evaluation. All the participants did very well as many of the speakers and officials were first timers. Special thanks go to Marvin from Igniters, Spence from Valley Echo and Florence from Literally Speaking who all came out from their clubs to help with the judging.

The winners of the club contest are:

Evaluation Contest: First place Rosario; Second place Laurie
International Speech Contest: First place Darlene; Second place Rosario

Rosario and Darlene went on to represent our club in the Area J41 contest, along with the CTI cheering section of Chris, Mary Jane, Jiang, Basheer and his lovely young daughter and Darlene's husband, Allan. An old friend from early CTI, Reza, was also there. What great support they provided with their hugs and beaming faces!

Our club did very well with Rosario placing 3rd in the Area Evaluation contest and Darlene placing 1st in the Area International Speech contest.

Darlene now goes on to the Division J International Speech contest on April 18th at the Cardel Theatre 6010 -12th St SE. The more CTI beaming faces in the audience - the better!
