The Environmental
Photo Contest
The winning entry for the State Photo Contest
was from Lion Marjene Neve member of the
Lansing Club—District 17 O. There were 101
Lions who voted on the pictures at the Mid
Winter Rally in Salina. Her picture will be
sent on to International to be judged at the
International Lions Convention in July.
Congratulations to Lion Marjene.
From District 17N we had five pictures sent in
for the contest, four from Sally Huber-Wichita
West Lions Club, and one from LuRay Watts-
Wichita Northwest Lions Club. Sally is the
District 17 N Photo Contest winner and will
receive $50.00. We are now in the new year
for taking photos, so any photos taken between
January and December 2012 will need to be
submitted by January 1, 2013 to be judged at
the Mid Winter Rally.
Don't forget the Points Contest deadline is May
15 so make sure your club get them submitted
to me by that date.
