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!

The White Rose Toastmasters club recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of their founding at the West Manchester Township building in York. Current members of the club were joined by several former members in celebrating the club’s silver anniversary. Breaking from their normal meeting format, the club opened the floor to anyone who wished to speak about their experience with the club over the past 25 years and how they have benefited from the Toastmasters program. The club also presented a special award to their charter member, Carl Jacobs of York, who founded the White Rose Toastmasters club in 1983 as part of the requirements to achieve Distinguished Toastmaster status, the highest level in the Toastmasters program.
