SkillsUSA. The community service competition evaluates local chapter activities
that benefit the community. The chapter presents its best community service
project for the year. Contestants are
evaluated on a notebook which reports their chapter’s community service project
and on a live presentation, which is given to a panel of three judges.
Winners of
the bronze medal are John Billingsby of Dresden, TN, Jason Mercer of Martin, TN
and Steven Justin Page of Paris, TN.
