Devon Tivona Wins Regional! He’s a speech contest wizard, never seen him fall… (sung to the tune of Pin Ball Wizard). http://bit.ly/cxjfPN

The regional (or equivalent-level) speech contest was held at the Berthoud Lions Club Sunday, March 21, 2010. Devon Tivona bested a polished field of five gab gifted speech experts to take home top honors.

Devon was the winner of the Fort Collins Lions club speech contest on January 28th. We are proud to sponsor Devon and will be solidly behind him and he confidently goes forth into the next competition. Look for Devon to go the distance at the Lions District Convention on April 10th.

It is time for us to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever, the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it.
