Mark Epstein Wins Area 12 International Speech Contest

Mark Epstein, long time member and recent President of Voyagers Toastmasters– one of San Diego’s most dynamic and experienced Toastmaster Cubs, was crowned the winner of the Area 12 Toastmaster International Speech Contest that was held March 16, 2013.

It was a tough contest, with lots of great speeches, but Mark Epstein made Voyagers proud as his speech took first place.  His touching and poignant speech about his sister grabbed the audience’s hearts and the speech judges’ ballots. He will be representing Voyagers and Area 12 at the upcoming Southern Division contest on May 5, 2013 to be held at Solar Turbines, downtown San Diego.
