Yeeeee – Haaww! Moments of Truth Contest Winner
Congratulations to the Toast of Corvallis. They submitted the results of their Moments of Truth program to Scott Alexander on the 20th and were randomly selected from all of the submissions as the winner. The club will receive one free ticket to Communicate Oregon on May 3rd and 4th. Two key things from their feedback, (1) Moments of Truth is worth conducting every year and (2) they can do more in recognizing the achievement of their club members. All clubs are encouraged to conduct a Moments of Truth session each year. Isn’t it time you told the truth?
