The Lions International Peace Poster contest is a wonderful opportunity for Lions Clubs to work with youth in their community to promote peace, tolerance and international understanding. It encourages young people, ages 11 to 13, to think about peace, creatively express what it means to them and share their unique visions with the world. The theme this year was "Journey of Peace". Thank you to Lisa Romano for spearheading this effort.
