On February 15 the Moraga Lions Student Speakers' Contest was held at the Moraga Public Library. The contest subject was "Enforcing Our Borders: State versus Federal Rights." Pictured above are Fred George, Moraga Lions Club Chair; Cynthia Brzezinski, contestant from Miramonte High School; Selena Ross, winning contestant from Miramonte High School; Blake Margrass, contestant from Acalanes High School; and Roy Hridoy, contestant from Campolindo High School.

Ross advanced to the second round (Zone) of the Lions Club Student Speakers Contest, which she won on February 26. She now goes to the next level (Region) which will be held at 12:15 on March 27 at the Contra Costa Water District offices in Concord. Ross is sponsored by our local Moraga Lions Club. If she continues to win, she could be awarded $21,000 in scholarships. The members of the Moraga Lions Club are rooting for her.
