For 5 years, Scott has been involved in a local Toastmasters club that meets weekly at Motorola. He was a founding member of the Ocotillo Breakfast Club and initially joined to improve his public speaking skills. In the club, he has served as president and has risen the ranks to Advanced Toastmaster Bronze.
Several weeks ago Scott gave a humorous speech about our flooding/fire alarm saga, and he won his club contest. This meant he moved on to the area competition, which was last night. Scott presented the same speech complete with props and many witty jokes! He was competing against 3 other humorous speech contestants ... and he won! Jami surprised him by showing up at the contest to support him (Scott didn't realize she was there until he got up to speak ... luckily that didn't add to his nerves!) He will next speak at the division contest on Oct. 6. Good luck, Scott!
