An Aktion Club Speech Contest was a new featured event in the Aktion Club strand of  the August 2011 Missouri-Arkansas Kiwanis District Convention in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Four Missouri-Arkansas Aktion Club members delivered speeches on the Kiwanis International Theme:  “How have your leadership skills improved from being

a member of Aktion Club?”  Their speeches are attached. All the speeches were winners; Ron Schneider, Jr., was named the overall winner.  His speech was forwarded to Kiwanis International, and he is officially an Aktion Club Ambassador.  Congratulations to all participants in the Aktion Club Speech Contest on August 6!   District Aktion Club Administrator Diane Gollihugh facilitated the contest, and Region IV Trustee Dave Tuck videoed the speeches.
