This Member’s Statement was presented by Roland Butler in the House of Assembly on December 3, 2008
MR. SPEAKER:
The hon. the Member for the District of Port de Grave
MR. BUTLER: Mr. Speaker, Desiree Bowering, the daughter of Richard and Paula Bowering of Bay Roberts, was awarded top prize for her poster in the Lions Club International Peace Poster contest.

Desiree, a Grade 8 student at Amalgamated Academy, was honoured at the Bay Roberts Lions Club on November 10, 2008. Eight other merit awards were also presented.

The international theme for this year was Peace Begins With Me. Desiree’s poster symbolized all nations as being equal, coming together all around the world forming world peace. Her poster will now be entered in the regional contest and from there, hopefully to the multiple and international competition.

I ask all hon. members to join me in congratulating the Bay Roberts Lions Club and wishing Desiree Bowering every success as her poster enters the next level of competition.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
