Roadmasters member wins statewide contest Mike Hand, a member of Roadmasters Toastmasters won the statewide tall tales contest on March 20. Hand’s speech, “Changes in Air Travel” was an exaggerated fantasy tale about an airline trip he recently took. “We at Roadmasters are fortunate to have Mike as a member of our club,” said Cliff Spoonemore, president of the Roadmasters chapter. “He is always supportive of others and his diverse skills encourage all our members to stretch themselves.” Spoonemore noted that this victory completes Hand’s “Statewide Slam.” Toastmasters conducts contests in five categories. Hand has now finished first in statewide competitions in all five categories. Roadmasters has been meeting virtually for the past year, but when it is safe to do so, the group will meet in person on Mondays at noon.
