During Saturday's Division F speech contests in Lubbock, Texas, WWJS Toastmasters member Kevin Coffey won the International Speech contest with his speech "First World Problems."
As a mechanical engineering student at Texas Tech University, Kevin lives in a high tech world and drew upon his life experiences to craft the speech.
Pam Davis of the Enriched Speakers club in Eunice, New Mexico, won the Table Topics contest.
Both Toastmasters move on to compete in the District 23 contests on May 1st and 2nd in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Along with Kevin and Pam, Midland's Layne Rouse placed second in International Speech and third in Table Topics, Lubbock's Jason Davis placed third in International Speech, and Lubbock's Jef Conn placed second in Table Topics.
