Carter Wilcox Brings Lions Program

11 year-old Carter Wilcox brought the Hope Lions Club a program on October 6th.  He is a member of the Hope Piranha Swim Team and he talked about his competition at the Junior Olympics in Houston.  The Arkansas team placed second in the competition which is made up of swimmers from around the state.  He noted one of the piranhas scored the most points out of 12 and under young ladies for Team Arkansas.  Wilcox had two top-13 finishes in the competition.  He answered some questions from the Lions on his swimming.

Carter also has a program called “Carter’s Class” which provides books to all students from the Scholastic Book Fair in the Hope Public Schools.  Last year the program donated over 600 books.  The organization also has their second annual “Trivia Night” at Hempstead Hall.  “Carter’s Class” will be teaming with the “Hope Bots”, the robotics group.  There will be a silent auction which features a shirt signed by many Razorback players and Tim Tebow.  There will also be a hot dog bar for those who arrive hungry.  First place will be a $500 prize.  Trivia Night will be November 8th.  Cost is $30 for an individual or $220 per table.  Information is available on Facebook at Carter’s Class.
