The contest was the culmination of several levels of competition, beginning at the club level. Samantha is a member of the Rise and Shine Toastmasters<\/a> club, which meets on campus at UFV (Fridays from 7:20 to 8:20 am in A225). After winning the evaluation contest at the club level, Samantha went on to compete against Abbotsford and Mission clubs in the Area Contest, and then on to the Division Contest to compete against clubs from all over the Lower Mainland.<\/p>\n

Samantha was one of ten competitors to duke it out at the province-wide District Contest, which is also the highest level for this particular speech contest. Samantha\u2019s husband and 6-year-old daughter were on hand to see her receive the award, which Samantha considered the \u201cbest Mother\u2019s Day present yet”.<\/p>\n
