This page is devoted to promoting information related to our Area Contests. This year, our Contest Chair is Stella Marie Mahakian. The first time I met Stella was in October 2013, she was competing in the Area C4 - Evaluations Contest. I was impressed with her spirit and enthusiasm and have had the privilege of seeing her develop as a Club leader. Stella is the Immediate Past President of Club 6570 - Surf City Speak N' Lead (Area C4).
