Exciting news from the Substance Abuse and Keep Christ in Christmas Poster programs. The 2016-2017 State Poster Contest winners for Keep Christ in Christmas and the Substance Abuse Awareness was presented at the 2017 State Convention. The youth who created the winning poster received $100 Visa gift card, their artwork was reproduced and placed into a frame. The original art work was sent on to Supreme for judging. Also, the local Council received a plaque in recognition of their efforts in running each program. At this years State Convention we were able to showcase over seventy Chapter Poster winners representing ten Chapters. By far this was the largest year of Councils participating.

I would like to thank each of the local Councils, District Deputies, and their Chapters for participating in this outstanding Youth Activity. Your efforts allow entrants to display their feeling and artwork in promoting Drug and Alcohol Awareness and to Keep Christ the center of their life. Thank you to all who participated.

It is time to order your kits for next year. It is easy to do at the Supreme website under forms. Looking forward to seeing more outstanding posters next year.
