Westborough – The Westborough Lions Club will host a speech contest for Westborough students in grades 9-12 Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. in the Event Room at Tatnuck Bookseller, 18 Lyman St., in Westborough. This is a public speaking competition in which contestants will give a five-to-eight minute speech on the topic: “What is the Impact of Volunteerism?” Three independent judges will evaluate each speech on delivery, effectiveness and text. The winner will move on to the Zone II contest in December and will compete against the winners from Berlin, Bolton, Clinton, Harvard and Northborough. Three additional competitions will then occur at the regional and district levels, culminating in the state contest in the spring, where the winner will win $1,500 and each runner up $500. There are monetary prizes at each level beginning at the local level. Students interested in participating should visit the “Club Projects” section of the Lions’ website at westboroughlionsclub.org for more information. The deadline to sign up is Monday, Nov. 6.
