The Shelby Lions Club has recognized 13 year old Tori Owens as winner of its 2011 Peace Poster Contest, held in cooperation with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Shelby. There were nine entries with a theme of “Children Know Peace.”   At the Lions Club meeting Tuesday, November 8th,  Lion Barbara Fitch presented Tori with a certificate and a check for $50.  Her poster now goes to Lions Club International Competition for a chance to win $5000 to be presented in a ceremony at Lions Day at the United Nations in March, 2012.
Tori is an eighth grader at Shelby Middle School and the daughter of Michael  and Cynthia Owens.   Her family accompanied her to the Lions meeting.
The program at the November 7th Lions meeting was presented by Brittney Hooker, the Boys and Girls Club Youth of the Year.   A senior and an honor student at Shelby High, Brittney  served as Lady Lion Mascot for the Shelby Golden Lions; is a choir member at Shiloh Baptist Church; and is active in the Math Academy. She has recently begun her first job as an academic tutor at the Boys and Girls Club. She plans to attend Winston Salem State University.
