Kingston Lions Sponsor Peace Poster Contest 2019 The Kingston Lions Club had the pleasure of sponsoring the 2019 Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest in the Kingston/Greenwood area. Children in Grade 6 from our local schools were invited to participate and design a poster expressing their interpretation of this year’s theme, Journey to Peace. The annual contest is an opportunity for Lions clubs to work with youth in our community to stress the importance of peace, to...lerance and international understanding. The contest encourages young people to think about peace, creatively express what it means to them and to share their own unique visions with the world. Winning posters at the Club level advance to the District for judging. Should a poster continue to win and advance through the Multiple District, it will be sent to Lions International Headquarters to compete against other winning posters from around the world to determine an International Grand Prize Winner. This year, Pine Ridge Middle School in Kingston participated. Judging of the posters took place on November 5th at the Lions Hall with a panel of judges, selected from the community who were hard-pressed to select winning entries due to the quality of the posters. The winning poster selected from Pine Ridge Middle School was designed by Gilliane. We would like to thank the Greenwood Dairy Queen, Greenwood Subway, Greenwood Mary Browns Chicken and the 14 Wing Greenwood Bowling Centre for donating additional prizes for the four finalists from each school . The 1st Place poster now moves on to compete at the Lions District N2 level competition. Congrats to the winner and thanks to all the students who participated. Great Job!! Pine Ridge Middle School Winners: Winners of the Kingston Lions Peace Poster Contest held at Pine Ridge Middle School.

Well, the Kingston Lions were at it again for the 27th time! All Lions’ hands were on deck at the Kingston Lions Hall very early on Dec 24th 2019 while most people still had visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads. The Lions were busy preparing their Annual Christmas Eve Breakfast for close to 900 community members - and they do it so well. Preparations for the full breakfast of ham, sausages, scrambled eggs, pancakes, hash browns, muffins, toast, etc began weeks befo...re the doors opened at 6:30am and cleanup continued long past the time when everyone left with memories of a wonderful Christmas breakfast with friends and family. Typically, the early risers are the ones heading off to work and they start their day with a good breakfast, and they are followed by families and friends who have made this a tradition to meet for a meal that morning before they go and finish their Christmas errands. Certainly, the star of the breakfast was the man in red himself, Santa, accompanied by his elf and Mrs Claus who mingled with the crowd. It presented one last opportunity for the kids to see Santa and receive a goodie bag. This year, the Greenwood Sobeys partnered once again with the Kingston Lions to provide assistance with the cost of the food. The Honourable Leo Glavine and 14 Wing Greenwood Commander Brendan Cook and his family were put to work on the serving table. Add to that a number of Scouts helping on the floor and the Lions themselves and you come up with over 80 volunteers who made this event happen. This breakfast is a way for the Kingston Lions Club to thank the community and to give something back to them for their support and loyalty over the year. The breakfast is a free will offering and the funds received just turn around and go back out to local charities.
