Toastmasters District Speech Contests were held at Radisson Suite Hotel El Paso Airport last Friday and Saturday. Experienced speakers from around New Mexico and El Paso County competed in the Table Topics Contest (speech without prior preparation) and International Speech Contest.
My husband and I are the official photographers for the speech contests and conference. I will be uploading a few hundred photos taken at the event on this website soon. I have also posted photos of other Toastmasters events there. If you are interested in finding out more about this organization, the photos will give you a very good idea of what we do.
The results of the speech contests are as follow:
Table Topics Contest
1st place winner – Tom Forrest Broadley, La Tierra Toastmasters, Santa Fe
2nd place winner – John Freisinger, Toastmasters at TVC, Albuquerque
3rd place winner – Rick Buchanan, Albuquerque Toastmasters, Albuquerque
International Speech Contest
1st place winner – John Freisinger, Toastmasters at TVC, Albuquerque
2nd place winner – Carol Ringgold, Oh Pinon Toastmasters, Santa Fe
3rd place winner – Taylor Ranch Toastmasters, Albuquerque



I am taking over the speech and debate department at Alamogordo High School and would like to have my students compete in some local and statewide speech and/or debate tournaments this school year. Do you have any suggestions?
