Letter from our Area 71 Governor, Jeff Brooks

Area 71 Presidents and VP Eds – I want to personally thank each of you and your respective clubs for making last night’s contest a success.  We had seven Area 71 contestants and a lively group of supporters.  Our judges were from other areas and they all commented how well attended and “fun” our contest was.  Success is not one person but the group working together, so again thank you.

Please recognize the individual contestants at your next TM meeting:

  • Howard Cutler, Mike Fajen and John Rockwood gave tremendous speaking performances.  John (Howard if John is not able to attend) will represent Area 71 at the Division contest April 5th at Good Sam Hospital.
  • Caroline Harris Crowne, Cody Eliot, Rebecca Rapple and Emily Wilson each brought their own mix of passion and personality to their evaluation delivery.   Cody (Rebecca if Cody is not able to attend) will represent Area 71 at the Division contest April 5th at Good Sam Hospital.

Lastly, I would like to especially thank those contestants who participated for the first time.  It takes special courage and guts to leave the comfort zone your club and step up to the front of an unfamiliar room the first time.  For me this is what makes all the effort that goes into these events worthwhile.

Thank you!

Jeff / Area 71 Governor

PS. Let’s bring the Area 71 enthusiasm to support the  Area 71 contestants at the Division contest April 5th.  Spread the word……………… :)
