American Legion's Oratorical Contest

Dear Editor and PCN Readers,

My name Is Richard Barnard, I am the American Legion Post Commander of Saco Post 79. I am writing today about a scholarship program many parents, and students are not aware of. That is The American Legion’s Oratorical Contest.

This program, is for High School students, 9-12, in which thy could win up to TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in scholarships! With a college education costing over ninety thousand dollars, according to the latest figures, that is no small chunk of change.

An ambitious student willing to put forth the effort in four years, could win over eighty thousand dollars, in scholarships. Win, I did say win didn’t I? That’s because it is a contest. An Oratorical contest on the United States Constitution. It will require some work on the part of the student. You don’t simply fill out a form and your done. You have to actually study the United States Constitution, and share that knowledge with others, in the form of speeches. Students will deliver speeches all the way from Post to District, to, Department(State) and finally to National competitions.

Now to the Students themselves, I ask you are you good at one-on-one, do you have what it takes to win? If so, Try us out, see if you can do it.

If you would like further details on this, or another American Legion program, please contact any American Legion Post with your request. My number is: 406-648-7238.

Sincerely,

Richard Barnard
