The Moraga Lions Club held its annual Student Speakers Contest Feb. 6 at the Moraga Library. The subject for the contest was "Integrity and Civility Play What Role in Today's Society?" The winning speaker was Zahra Hasanain from Miramonte High School, who will now go on to compete in the Zone finals to be held at 7 p.m. on March 6 at the Pleasant Hill Council Chambers in Pleasant Hill. Zahra could potentially win up to $23,000 in scholarship money if she wins all six levels of the contest. She has been coached by her speech teacher at Miramonte High School, Kristen Plant, who has been a wonderful supporter of the Lions' Speech Contest.
