Warm greetings to all members of District 102,

As we enter the 2025-2026 program year, we are happy to make several announcements to all fellow members of District 102 regarding the coming contests as follows:

This is to communicate our District’s decision on the number of contestants allowed to progress from the Club, Area and Division Humorous Speech Contest, Evaluation Contest, International Speech Contest and Table Topics Contest effective from 1st July 2025:
– Eight weeks prior to the Area contest, if an Area has four assigned Clubs or fewer in good standing, two contestants from each Club are allowed to compete in the Area contest.
– Should additional Clubs charter prior to the Area contest, two contestants from each club are permitted to compete.
– In Areas with five or more Clubs in good standing eight weeks prior to the contest, one contestant from each club is permitted to compete.
– In Divisions with four assigned Areas or less, the two highest-placed available contestants from each Area are allowed to compete at the Division contest.
