Judging of 2011-2012 Lions South Sound Essay Contest


Fellow Lions:

This letter is to inform all the Lions Clubs in C-2, C-6 and North Mason Lions Club (C-4) that the judging for the 2012-2013 Lions South Sound Essay Contest will take place on Saturday, January 5, 2013 at the Olympics West Retirement Apartments in Tumwater.  A continental breakfast will be available at 8:30 A.M. Judging will commence around 9:00 A.M and conclude around 1:00 P.M. 

Even though the school you sponsored this year did not participate, you are requested to encourage your members to take part of the judging process.  This will be the 24TH   year of this successful program.

Twenty Youth Exchange applications were received for the Essay contest and sixteen essay’s were received for judging.

The following schools were represented with essay candidates:
Olympia H. S. (3)
Shelton H. S. (2)
Tenino H. S. (2)
North Thurston H. S. (1)
North Mason H. S. (1)
Timberline H. S. (6)
Rainier H. S. (1)

It is difficult to understand why some schools were not represented.  The only scenario I can rationalize is that the program was not promoted adequately within the other schools.

The first place winner will receive an expense paid trip to the country of their choice, during the summer and stay with at least two host families for four to six weeks.

The second place winner will receive a $150 GIFT CARD and the third place winner will receive a $100 GIFT CARD.

If you have any questions, please call me at (360) 427-1964 or our Co-chairperson, Bob Kelley, (360) 491-3773.
