BARKER — For the last 30 years, Lions Clubs around the world have proudly sponsored the Lions International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and youth groups. This art contest for students ages 11-13 encourages young people worldwide to express their visions of peace. Locally, the Barker Lions club solicits entries for students in Barker Middle School.
This year Virginia Anderson was selected as this year’s winner. Hers was one of over 20 entries. “Judging was challenging,” said Barker Lions Club Secretary Matthew Costello. “We put all the entries out at our regular meeting and the members looked them over. There were so many great
interpretations of the theme.” After the votes were tallied, Ms. Anderson’s artwork was selected to go onto the District competition.
To recognize her achievement, the Barker Lions Club presented her with an art kit. Recently, Lion Costello was joined by Principal Bradley Pritchard and Art Teacher Melissa Phillips to congratulate Ginger on her achievement.
Meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m., each Barker Lions meeting includes dinner and speaker. For more information about Barker Lions and its projects, visit www.BarkerLions.org.
