Mildmay students participate in speaking program

The Mildmay & District Lions Club held their annual Effective Speaking Program on Wednesday, March 18th, 2015 during their regular meeting at the Vintage Cafe. Students from Sacred Heart School and Mildmay-Carrick Public School in Grades 6-8 took part in the event. The speeches were well done and enjoyed by the Lions members and students’ families. The four students who presented their speeches then moved on to the District A-9 finals which were held in Neustadt on Saturday, March 21st. The students were presented with certificates of appreciation and thanked by President John Allensen and Lion Dave Fortney.
