Joanna Zhu, Ashley Sui, John Sui and Jillian Weng were student speakers at the San Gabriel Valley Entrepreneur Lions Club MD4-California Lions Student Speakers Program for 2014-2015 during the club’s meeting held at the Community Room at Monterey Park City Hall on December 13.

They posed for pictures with Cici Lau, Yvonne Shiue, Dianna Chu, Allison Li, and TK Hsu.

Each student spoke on the timely issue “Water Conservation – How Can We Reduce, Recycle, and Reclaim?”

Each student was judge on their poise, their presentation and their ideas on how to improve water conservation.

Some of their ideas included using gray water to water your gardens and grass; collecting rain water in a water barrel to water your lawns; turning off water while brushing your teeth and reclaiming sea water for every day uses in the future.

The judges Allison Li, Nancy Arcuri and TK Hsu were chosen as judges since they were not club members.

Joanna Zhu won the contest with a $100 prize and a chance to attend the next speech conference.  The top contestant in this series wins a scholarship from the Lions Club.

Ashley Sui, John Sui and Jillian Weng each won an honorable mention and a $25 prize for their participation.

Members of the San Gabriel Valley Entrepreneur Lions Club shared the spotlight with the students and judges celebrating the 78th Annual Student Speakers Program.
