IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dear Friends,
It is that time of year again. As many of you know, for many
years I have worked with the THEA (Tennessee Home Education
Association) Speech and Debate team as they compete at the
Christian Communicators for Christ Tournament. This year is no
exception and once again I would like to invite you to volunteer
as a judge at the tournament.
No experience, dont worry we will provide guidance prior to the
judging time.
I can promise you that this will be a true highlight in your
personal and professional life. These kids are amazing.
Following are the details on this event as well as the response
form. Please feel free to contact my office as well (741-2804;

Sincerely,

us? A short orientation will be given prior to each event

event.

convenient for you. If you can commit to judging, recruiting

Additional comments from other judges:
Their ability to articulate their debate arguments and their
creativity in the different competitions was outstanding. I
would certainly recommend to others that it is an uplifting
experience and well worth investing several hours of a day to
serve as a judge.
John M Rankin, Attorney
It was a well-spent day out of my schedule and I was most
grateful to have been afforded the opportunity to be involved
with such a fine organization.
Dave Briley, Associate Pastor
