Let's leaverage ideas

This week's Rotary Profile Notice appearing in tomorrow's Daily Post. This is the weekly publication of Rotary activities in Rotorua, New Zealand. The Clubs take turns at writing the feature article.
The Rotary Club of Rotorua High Schools Speech contest highlighted this week has been held annually since 1961.

It is usually an evening meeting to which all Rotorua Rotary Clubs and Partners are invited. For reasons beyond our Club's control and at the last moment, this year's contest had to be held at our lunch meeting on Monday 26th September 2011.
It is now hotly contested between the 7 High Schools in the Rotorua region i.e. Rotorua Boy's, Girl's and Lakes High Schools, Western Heights High School, John Paul College, Reporoa College and the Rotorua School for Young Parents. Unfortunately due to the time change neither Lakes High nor the School for Young Parents could be represented.
It is simply amazing how the content and delivery of the speeches has improved year by year and one would not want to get into a debate with any of the contestants. Year by year, the professionally qualified Judges tell our Club how hard it is becoming to separate the contestants and pick a winner. This year's contest was no different.
