Darlene wins Area 41 Speech Contest

Club President Jean Francois presents the trophy for Area 41 Winner to Darlene

Forget Area 51, the new hot topic trending today is the Area 41 Speech Contest, and it's winner, CTI Techtalkers very own Darlene Davies.

Darlene's winning speech landed her the trophy at Area Level. She also has 2 more to come (as soon as they are engraved), having now made it all the way to the International Semi-Finals in Florida in August. Her winning entry was titled "The Storyteller", but not the one of Jim Henson fame.

A more gentle and uplifting tale, listening to Darlene I imagined myself back to the days of Storybook International, and "I'm a Storyteller..."

Darlene certainly weaves a rosy image, and one that takes us back to post-war Canada and the return of her father from the war. Depeche Mode once claimed that "Words are very, unnecessary", but I'd have to beg to differ.

Congratulations Darlene!
