The Area E3 (Utah County) Traveling Gavel has parked at Utah Valley Toastmasters for 2 months now. It's time to get this thing moving. Who is going to come take the gavel? Taking the gavel is a lot of fun because it gives you a chance to meet new Toastmasters and gain confidence from speaking in front of a new audience. It will also give you a chance to be evaluated by someone who may have never heard you speak. You will get new insights and perspectives which will help you become a better speaker.
In addition to the Area E3 Traveling Gavel, Utah Valley Toastmasters now also has the Division E Traveling gavel that Mike Kirsch took from Precision Speakers by getting up at 5:00 am and driving to their 6:30 am meeting in Salt Lake. This is the first time the Division E Traveling Gavel has been in Utah County. Someone come take it and keep it down here!

The Traveling Gavel contest is over for the Toastmasters year (Jul 1 - Jun 30). The final scoring:
+2 points to Utah Valley for keeping the gavel for the final two weeks of the Tostmasters year.
Olympic Orators wins!
Thank you all for participating. For those who have taken the opportunity to steal the gavel, it has been a great opportunity to speak in front of new audiences and meet new people. For the clubs, it has been fun to hear from someone outside the club.
The contest is over for last year, but it starts a new right away. All clubs are starting the Toastmasters year with 0 points. Whether you have participated in the past or not, it's time to get going and steal the gavel! The gavel is currently at Utah Valley Toastmasters.
Utah Valley meets at 12:00 on Wednesdays at the Bureau of Reclamation in Provo, just south of the Novell buildings.
