Gassaway Lions announces winner of Poster Contest

Gassaway Lions sponsored the Lions International Peace Poster art contest at Braxton Middle school recently. The contest was for 11, 12, and 13-year-old students around the world.  Eight students participated locally in submitting art with the theme of Peace Without Limits. 

Lions Club President Randy Foster recently announced the local student winner as Brooklyn Allen. She received a gift certificate and will advance to the state competition. 

In other Lions Club news, the winners of the fall gun raffle were Brett Chapman and Terry Perkins. 

The Gassaway club also approved donations to the local Encore Angel Tree project, the Braxton County Jamboree Christmas for the Kids, Braxton Middle School Art Department, City Banks Slippers for Seniors, Davis Elementary PTO, Mountaineer Food Bank, and the Town of Gassaway Christmas Parade. 

The Lion’s Club is an organization dedicated to community service. Anyone wishing to join can contact any Gassaway Lion or Randy Foster at 304-364-5989.
