“If I Were Mayor Contest” Winners
Every year, the Oregon Mayor’s Association (OMA) invites mayors across Oregon to participate
in the “If I Were Mayor” event. This year’s theme is “If I Were Mayor, After School Would Be .
. . “.
Mayor Lundberg chose to participate in the contest this year to acknowledge the importance of
after school programs for the youth in our community. Students were invited to participate in the
following three categories: Elementary School Poster, Middle School Essay and/or
Video/PowerPoint, and High School or College Video/PowerPoint. Nearly twenty entries were
submitted from the first two categories. There were no entries for the High School/College
category.
Winners from the local level will be entered in the statewide OMA contest. Statewide winners
will be notified along with their mayor in mid-June. The winners and their parents will be invited
to an Oregon Mayors Association Annual Conference luncheon in Florence at the Driftwood
Shores Resort on Saturday, July 28, 2012, to be recognized and receive their prizes. The State
winner will receive a laptop.
Local winners chosen by Mayor Lundberg were:
• Amaya Fotta 4th Grader, Guy Lee Elementary
• Nicole Wellentin 6th Grader, Agnes Stewart Middle School
