Four Way Test Speech Contest - Club Level

Based on Rotary's Four Way Test : First, is it the truth?, Second, is it fair to all concerned?, Third, will it build good will and better friends?, Fourth is it beneficial to all concerned?, we offer a local speech contest to three local high schools: Valley Forge Baptist Academy, Perkiomen Valley and Methacton. 

This endeavor is an excellent supplement to many programs you have within your school
such as the gifted, college preparatory, speech/debate and theater. Communication
and presentation skills are important, now more than ever, and this program gives
students the opportunity to enhance their skills, add to their academic resume and win
cash prizes.
