ADVERTISEMENT The Knights of Columbus Substance Abuse Awareness Poster Contest is open to all boys and girls 8-14.

The contest is conducted at the local level with winning entries progressing through district/regional and state levels of competition to the international level.

The winning entries at the international level serve as the basis for a series of anti-substance abuse posters, with creative credit going to their artists, to be distributed throughout the countries in which the Knights of Columbus is present.

According to Knights of Columbus, over the past decade many fraternal organizations, businesses, schools, churches, synagogues and individuals have donated time and money to the fight against the ever-present epidemic of substance abuse.

One way to rectify this worldwide problem is through the spread of information.

Increasing public awareness concerning the dangers of drugs and alcohol through the cooperation of individuals and organizations has garnered significant results.For information, call Mike Crimmins, Grand Knight Council 7353, at 431-8560.
