Lions Young Speechmaker

Arnika Hazelwood —

Congratulations to accomplished public speaker Olivia Goldsmith.

Olivia was placed 2nd in the Otago / South Canterbury Lions Young Speechmaker finals and was selected for the National finals later this year. 

Olivia competed in Oamaru and was sponsored by the Port Chalmers Lions Club.  It is a particularly impressive achievement as the competition is open to people up to 21 years and requires a prepared speech as well as an impromptu speech.
