The Hamilton Elks, in conjunction with the Hamilton Alliance Against Substance Abuse, awarded eight first place winners in a drug awareness poster contest. About 400 fifth graders from the township submitted a poster. The Elks presented winners with a $50 check and treated them to lunch at the lodge. Pictured are Hamilton Elks Exalted Ruler Robert Van Hise, Rafae Saeed (Mercerville School), Amanda Marks (Sayen School), Cory Louis-Jean (Klockner School), Marko Guaman (Trenton Catholic Academy), Josh Romero (Yardville Heights School), Samantha Badilla (Lalor School) and HAASA coordinator Deborah Minnick.
