Submitted by Crystal Lake Toastmasters

Two of Crystal Lake Toastmasters’ finest are headed to Lake in the Hills for the Area Level contest after winning the recent Humorous Speech and Evaluation Speech Contests held by the club.

Joan Walton of Huntley won the Humorous Speech Contest where contestants prepare a cohesive 5-7 minute speech that is both engaging and entertaining. Eric Antens of Cary won the Evaluation component of the contest where contestants listen to a speech given by a member from another Toastmaster club, and then evaluate their performance in a 2-3 minute report.

Joan and Eric will join representatives from other Toastmasters clubs to compete in the Area 1 contest, beginning at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 28 at the Lake in the Hills village hall.
