91原创 District 4-H Senior Council is congratulating all 4-H members that have participated in the district communications competitions this spring.

The 4-H program aims at developing the whole person and part of this development involves learning how to communicate effectively.

In the public speaking program, 4-H members deliver formal prepared speeches to an audience.

In addition to prepared speeches, 4-H public speaking may include impromptu speeches. Impromptu speeches are short speeches that are delivered off the cuff, with only a short time for preparation.

In junior speeches (aged nine to 12), Chloe B. from Glen Valley Club placed first with her speech 鈥淚n One Ear and Out the Other鈥� in the Fraser Valley Regional Competition.

Juliette D. from Woodland Hare & Hound Club placed second and Annabelle D. from Woodland Hare & Hound Club earned third.

For senior speeches (aged 13 to 18), Veronika P. from Otter Lamb & Swine Club won first for her speech 鈥淭ime to Abolish the Monarchy.鈥�

Elly V. from Otter Lamb & Swine Club earned second for 鈥淗ow Music Affects People鈥� placed second, and third went to Ben S. from 91原创 Beef Club.

Speak and Show presentations can be either demonstrations or illustrated talks delivered by one 4-H member.

Speak and show topics must have agriculture or food themes so that members learn and teach about what makes the 4-H youth program unique, its connection to the agriculture industry.

The final result of a speak and show presentation can be a finished product, a learned skill, or increased understanding of the topic by the audience.

Junior Speak & Shows winners, aged nine to 12, included Lily M. from Glen Valley 4-H Club with her speak & show 鈥淟et Them Eat Cake Pops!鈥� placed first.

Emily B. from Woodlands Hare & Hound Club with 鈥淢orsel, A Tiny Bit of Goodness鈥� placed second.
