This year's local winners of the 2017 Peace Poster contest sponsored by the Lamorinda Lions were among more than 600,000 entries submitted worldwide by students aged 11 to 13 years old, located in more than 200 countries. The contest encourages young people to think about peace, creatively express what it means to them, and share their own unique vision with the world. This year's theme was "The Future of Peace."
In addition to Lions efforts toward conquering blindness, the Lamorinda Lions Club has made a strong commitment to community service and helping youth throughout Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda.
