Wow, there are some wonderful high school speakers out there. This past Tuesday was the Area 4 Speech Contest; five young people from Nevada Union and Ghidotti Early College High Schools participated. Aubrianna Johnson earned first place and will be competing at the District Speech Contest in Reno on Saturday, May 20th. Our Club winner, Paolina Rose, received a tie for fourth place. Since she is a sophomore, she is able to compete through her senior year – I sure hope she does, she has a great speaking style! Our Club did a great job of supporting the Speech Contest with timers and tellers; we had eleven members and one guest in attendance, great job!
