Downtown Lions Pick a Winning Poster
We all know that peace is hard to come by. Just look at all of the wars still going on throughout the world. Lions Clubs International has been sponsoring a Peace Poster Contest for years and the Downtown Lions had participated for many years in the past. After a few years out of the loop the Club has gotten back into the Peace Poster Contest. Lion Don Combs is chairman of the return to the Peace Poster committee. He contacted 17 schools in the area to find which ones were interested in participating. As it turned out one school, O’Hara Catholic School, was the only one that signed on and had their middle school students (ages 11-13 years) submit pictures depicting their view of peace. The posters were brought to a Downtown Lions Club meeting and the Club members voted for their favorites.
The final four were chosen and the three Peace Poster committee members chose the winner who is McKayla Webb from O’Hara Catholic school.
Her winning poster now goes on to the DIstrict competition and possibly as far up as the international finals.
