Speaks to Rotary By Frank Lawson On October 22 Bowmanvillc Bowmanvillc Toastmasters (TM) hosted three district level contests. District winners go on to compete compete at the division level. Last week we noted that no TM member is ever forced to enter a contest. However, once you do the urge to win is uncontrollable uncontrollable as was demonstrated by the high caliber of speeches delivered delivered last week. When one wins a contest that vague memory memory of a distant past where there was hesitation before entering entering seems like a surreal out of body experience. Was it a past life experience? Was it a tale you heard somewhere? Come and visit, find out for yourself. Toastmasters came from Napancc Valley, Bay of Quinte, Peterborough, Osliawa, Oshawa Revenue, Lindsay and Quinte Isle. To hear some of the finest speeches this side of Victoria. Unfortunately only one TM could win each of the contests.

This message is from the ' school's Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving club, and it is meant to deter students students from drinking and driving. driving. And, with these same words, two young members from the Ontario Students Against Impaired Driving brought their message to the Rotary Club members at last week's luncheon meet. Sandy Ashton, 17, and Carolyn Carolyn Barkcy, 16, arc both members of Courticc Secondary Secondary School's O.S.A.I.D. group and were at the Rotary Club to want about the dangers of drinking and driving and to tell Rotary members about their club. Sandy Ashton is president of the O.S.A.I.D. at Courticc. She says: "I'd do anything in my power to get everyone involved involved in this wonderful group." By far the biggest event O.S.A.I.D participates in, is the Prom in June. Sandy proudly says: "Wc arc one of the few schools who have never had anyone die on the night of the Prom." Sandy, herself, only received received her driver's licence last year, on the day of the Prom. Carolyn Barkcy estimates that half of her schoolmates already have their licences. Even at the smaller parlies after the official Prom, Sandy says the work of her group has convinced many students to assign assign someone as a designated driver. That driver might even be a parent who comes late in the evening to take the party- goer safely home. The Courticc Secondary School Prom is a little more than half a year away. But, O.S.A.I.D. will be sponsoring several other events before then. Litter this week, the O.S.A.I.D. group holds their annual Black & White Day. Each of the 60 members of the club will attend classes wearing wearing only black and white clothing. clothing. Last year's Black and White Day had an interesting twist. While classes were being conducted, one of the 60 O.S.A.I.D members was paged to the office every 15 minutes. Each student left class quietly, returning minutes later with his or her face painted a ghoulish white. Many curious questions went unsatisfied that day, until a public address announcement stated that each painted, O.S.A.I.D student represented a drinking and driving fatality. Carolyn Barkcy stated that there is such a death every 15 minutes somewhere in the world. Sandy and Carolyn both look forward to their group's annual participation in both the Oshawa and the Bowmanvillc Santa Claus Parades. O.S.A.I.D riders on last year's float carried a banner that read, "I'll be home for Christmas. Christmas. Will you?" Last year, the group launched their red ribbon campaign campaign the day of the Bowmanvillc Bowmanvillc Santa Claus parade. Members Members tied bright red ribbons to cars in parking lots, along with a brief note explaining the symbolism of the ribbon. Sandy explained that the O.S.A.I.D red ribbon on a car indicates the driver's support for the work of O.S.A.I.D. "Last year, it was very successful," successful," Sandy said of the ribbon ribbon campaign. "I don't think anyone took the ribbons off. Even if they found it on their aerial, they would find somewhere somewhere else on the car to lie it." Other O.S.A.I.D. events planned for this school year arc a trip to a Sunnybrook Hospital Hospital rehabilitation wing, a nonalcoholic nonalcoholic cocktail dance, and a baseball tournament held in Whitby.
