President: Debbie Young.
- Every year the District 8 and Toastmasters International has an International Speech contest. The theme of the speeches can be on any topic. It doesn’t have to be on an international theme. There is an additional speech contest at the same time and the topic varies with each session. The theme for this session will be a Humorous Speech Contest. In January, 2023 SCTM will conduct an International Speech Contest and a Humorous Speech Contest. The winners of these speeches will advance to the District 8 contest. More information will be provided in the near future.
- Brad Adams is the winner of the District 8 speech contest for the past 2 years. Debbie Young invited him to visit SCTM to talk about his experience and to encourage Club members to participate in the upcoming contests.
