2016 Area 6 Speech Contest Hosted by Almaden Valley Rotary

Five students from Area 6 clubs represented their clubs at the Three Flames Restaurant in San Jose on March 3, 2016. Each student recited a speech that included this year's theme of Be a Gift to the World and needed to include Rotary's 4 Way Test guiding principles.
 
This year Morgan Hill's Nikhita Gopisetty took home the First place prize. All of the students did an incredible job and were true winners. We are especially proud of Hollister's own student winner Hernan Chavez. Once again, he commanded the audience with his passionate speech about education as he drew on his own experiences and lessons learned. We are sure Hernan Chavez has a very bright future. 
 
First Place Winner is Nikhita Gopisetty, Morgan Hill

Third place is Hernan Chavez, Hollister
Fourth place Steven Porter, Gilroy
Fifth place Monica Zuchelli, Gilroy Sunrise
