The theme for the 2022 District Speech Contest was:  “Share with us a time you have served others and how were lives impacted, including your own.”  This year’s winners are:

1st Place              Kayla Thackeray

2nd Place             Cate Baker

3rd Place             Teagan Lopez-Schrammel

 

Rotarians Sarah Gallagher and Beth Reid organized the contest.

The first-place winner from the Quincy Rotary Club will now advance along with the winners from the Portola, Loyalton, and Greenville Rotary Clubs. The winner of the area contest will advance to the District 5190 Contest scheduled April 30 at Harrah’s Hotel in Lake Tahoe.
