Young poets of distinction

“Dare to Dream” was this year’s theme for the Lombard Service League’s 15th annual Youth Poetry Contest through which young people put their inner thoughts and emotions into the written word as expressed through the powerful vehicle of poetry. Chosen as this year’s poetry laureates are (left to right) first place winner Navya Tuli, second place winner Kristina Hall and third place winner Gabriella Fisher. The poets are pictured after being honored at the league’s Feb. 14 meeting at Lombard’s Lexington Square.
