Hi Great Lions,
My name is Michele McKay, and I have been asked by in-coming DG Beth to facilitate, encourage, and promote the Lions Club Peace Poster program for District 22B. With the 2025-2026 year, our hope is to have an increased participation in this worthy event. The new year theme is "Together As One" – a theme that offers a great opportunity for creative thinking (and drawing)!
Now, I am located up here in Cecil County, but my heart travels to all parts of this district and I am reaching out to club presidents and/or club secretaries to get the word out about the program. I am also willing to offer as much assistance as possible through email or phone calls (evenings or weekends are best). I have also been given approval by the art teacher at my school (who has for many years been the catalyst for entries from the Perryville Club. She does a great job of presenting the theme, refining student ideas, and making sure participants complete projects following guidelines) to share her email. She is willing to share her expertise with other art teachers or whomever your club chooses to lead your program. Her name is Donna Steck (dsteck@ccps.org ).
It is important to reach out to the middle schools or other programs in your area that would work with the identified population, and would be able to access the required materials (even if you are supplying them from your club).
Here is the link to the site that explains the program if you are new to it (or need a little refresher:
Last year we had 15 clubs preorder their kits through the district in spring, and we purchased 5 additional kits. We have been given the chance to purchase 15 kits again this year, so if you are interested in receiving a free kit (a savings of over $30 with shipping), please let me know, and I will put you on the list. Our goal is to hand them out at the last Cabinet meeting this year, or at the first one in the 2025-26 year (or at the first zone meeting) so clubs have time to meet the mid-November deadline for submission to DG Beth.
I hope that many of you are able to participate in this year's Peace Poster Contest. Reach out if you need anything - I will do my best to help you be successful.
Thank you.
