Calendars warn of problem gambling

The volunteer Montgomery County Problem Gambling Prevention Coalition next month will begin distributing free calendars created by local students intended to draw attention to problem gambling during National Problem Gambling Awareness Month.

The calendars display the winning entries from local calendar competitions among art students from four schools — Wright Brothers, West Carrollton and E.J. Brown Middle Schools and Ponitz Career Technology Center — who created artistic posters with problem gambling prevention messages to be used as calendar pages.

The calendars feature the same images but come in two varieties: “Fine Arts,” created by middle-school kids using techniques such as sketching or drawing with crayons, colored pencils or markers, and “Graphic Arts,” created by students at Ponitz using computer software programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop.
