Articulators Table Topics Contest:
1st Place Rebecca, 2nd Place Paul, 3rd Place Denny
Articulators International Speech:
1st Place Rebecca, 2nd Place Tim, 3rd Place Michelle

Because our Area 42 is made up of four clubs, both 1st place and 2nd place will go on to compete in both contests at the area level. If any of the contestants cannot attend the contest, the next place will be asked to compete. The Area 42 contest will be held on Saturday March 28, 2009 at 2:00 pm, at the Orangewood School in Maitland. Contestants, alternates and officials are asked to arrive at 1:30 for briefings. Let's all try to attend to support our WINNERS!
