Regular Meeting 82, Club Speech Contest
This was the first speech contest conducted completely in compliance with the Toastmasters Speech Contest Rulebook. The previous events had been conducted with some parts of the contest rule adjusted, and thus as a "Speech Competition." This was in no violation of the rule because clubs are allowed to choose their contestant(s) at the Area level in a way the club sees fit.
