Drumheller District 4-H gears up for 4-H public speaking with a Communication Judges Workshop.
February 4, judges and 4-H leaders gathered at the Delia Community Centre to learn new skills and new rules for public speaking.
Janet Kerr, Regional 4-H Specialist, led the workshop and emphasized that both the content and delivery of the prepared speech, impromptu and presentation are judged.
“Communication is a requirement for all 4-H members. Some members love public speaking, while others are not so sure. What we do know is that communication skills can be developed,” said Kerr.
The 4-H public speaking program relies on volunteers. The efforts all of the volunteers are greatly appreciated, especially those who took time out of their schedules to help out.
4-H members are now preparing for speak offs in their clubs. District Speak Offs will be March 10 in Carbon hosted by the Hesketh Orkney Club.
The highlight will be Regional Speak Offs on March 17 hosted by Drumheller District 4-H. Members from across the East Central region will travel to participate in Regional Speak Offs.
Watch for more details about upcoming communication events. For more information contact Janice Hoover at 403-364-2040.
