Tall Tales

“We learn best in moments of enjoyment.” – Ralph C. Smedley

 

Igniters had a short but sweet December. Diane and Glen hosted a Christmas potluck on December 8th and Igniters ran a fantastic Tall Tales tournament on December 12th. All in all, a fun-filled way to finish the calendar year.

 

As there was no district speech contest this year, Igniters held its own, featuring highly exaggerated and improbable stories. As our current club president, Jeff, said, speech contests “create a different environment in which to test and develop your skills ... and also make for great entertainment for the spectators as we watch each other aim to perform our best.” 

 

A huge thank you goes out to the tournament organizers: Jessica, Geetha, and Ksenija. And a special thank you to the tournament officials and volunteers.

Congratulations to all the participants: Glen, Lenore, Darlene, Trevor, Marvin, Jeff, and Nandini.

 

A round of applause for the contest winners:

 

1st Place: Jeff

2nd Place. Nandini 

3rd Place: Darlene 

 

Looking Ahead

 

After a holiday break, we hope you are energized for a new year.
