It was deja vu for White Rose’s Tony Crocamo and Diane Lamison at the Area 22 Contest on September 22nd. After taking first place in the Club contest for humorous speech and table topics respectively, Tony and Diane once again took top honors for Area 22. Tony and Diane competed against some of the finest speakers and quick thinkers in the York and Hanover area and our club is elated that they both took first place.

Both Tony and Diane will now move on to the Division A Contest, being held Saturday, October 18 in Harrisburg. Tony and Diane will be competing against Toastmasters from across the Central PA region, including Harrisburg, Lancaster and the Williamsport area. We wish them both the best of luck!

Two of White Rose Toastmasters’ finest are headed to Hanover after winning in the recent Humorous Speech and Table Topics Contest. Tony Crocamo of Mount Joy won for Humorous Speech and Diane Lamison of York won the Table Topics component of the contest. For the Humorous Speeches, contestants have to give a cohesive 5-7 minute speech that is both engaging and entertaining. Table Topics puts a contestant’s quick thinking and improvisational skills to the test. Contestants have 1-2 minutes to answer a random question on the spot with no advanced preparation.

Tony and Diane will join representatives from other Toastmasters clubs in York and Hanover to compete in the Area 22 contest on Monday, September 22, at the Hanover Hospital Wellness Center in Hanover. The doors open at 6:15 p.m. and the contest begins at 7:00.
