ROSTRUM EVENTS - 2009

February 2009 - Club 17 Pizza Impromptu Speaking Competition

	Rostrum Club 17 held its inaugural Pizza Impromptu Speaking Competition for its first meeting in 2009.  Chris Horacek is the proud winner of a bottle of chianti for his efforts in the Novice division, while Eddie Fee certainly knows what to do with his prize for his efforts in the Open division. This competition was open to members, but has set the tone for the 2009 year for the club (although we did have to explain to several guests on the night that we do not have pizza and chianti EVERY meeting). The competition was the first meeting in our speaking program cycle of Fun, Themed Speeches, Alphabet Soup, Themed Speeches, Training, Personal Development Night, and back to Fun!
	As can be seen from Chris's photo, apparently Pizza is a perfect preparation for impromptu speaking!
