with students you work with and/or forward on as appropriate:

Lions Clubs International is offering  an essay contest for students who are
considered visually impaired and will be 11, 12 or 13 years of age as of
November 15, 2010.

The theme for the essay contest is “Power of Peace.” Each essay must be
submitted with a completed entry form.  Essays must be no longer than 500 words
in length, submitted in English, typewritten in black ink and
double-spaced.

One grand prize winner will receive an award and US$5,000. If able to travel,
Lions Clubs International will provide accommodations and round-trip travel
expenses for the winner and one parent to accept the award at the Lions
International Convention, June 29 to July 3, 2011, in Seattle, Washington.

A Lions Club must sponsor participants! If students in your school/organization
would like to participate, it will be necessary for them to contact their local
Lions Club. Club locations are listed on the Lions Clubs International Web site
at [1]www.lionsclubs.org. You will see a link to “Find a Club,” or you can
simply keyword search “find a club” in the search box.  Once again, please note
that a school/organization cannot submit entries directly, but must work with
its local Lions Club.

If you have any questions about the contest, or need help to get in touch with
a local Lions Club, please feel free to contact Kristopher Kempski, Public
