Scammed by a car salesman who sold you a used car with more miles than the odometer says? Consider RCW 19.86.020 , the State Consumer Protection Act. Tom B., presenting project #2 from the STI manual, outlined the purpose and the usefulness of the Consumer Protection Act. The State’s consumer protection office can file lawsuits against deceptive businesses on behalf of the consumers in Washington State, with the consumer being awarded damages and attorney’s fees if the State wins.
Remember RCW 19.86.020
What energy will you use for grilling : coal or gas? In her speech titled “ What are you grilling on?” Cara answers this question with pros and cons of each type. We learnt that coal grills are better suited for passionate grillers, with plenty of time for cooking and cleaning and gas grills for casual and on-the- go grillers. Cara was presenting CC project #7: research your topic.Well done, Cara!
All this talk about grilling at 7:30 am….
In her speech titled “5 to 7 minutes” our last speaker, Marti M., shared a new found insight about making speeches. What a 5-7 minute speech need not be is dull book report or essay about your vacation. What a 5-7 minute speech is a box of colors that you can use inform, inspire, excite audiences. Well done on presenting CC project #10- Inspire your audience, Marti!
A 5-7 minute speech about how to have fun making a 5-7 minute speech!
