GRANTSVILLE LIONS AWARDED 1ST PLACE IN GOVERNOR'S CONTEST |
| (08/28/2009) |
| Submitted by Bob Bonar Outgoing Lions Club President, Curtis Gregory, says the 2008-2009 annual report for the Grantsville Lions Club shows the club donated over $5,000 to worthwhile causes and provided more than 300 hours of volunteer service to the community. Youth organizations received the most funding, including school groups, 6 college scholarships, recreation, sports, 4-H, and scouts. Various community groups received contributions, and health needs continued to be a club priority, especially sight conservation, which remains the major goal of all Lions. To that end, the Grantsville Club paid for eye exams, purchased glasses, and recycled 212 pair of used lenses and frames. Club members have given of their time to assist with 8 basket bingos, Halloween treats, Santa's visit, parade line-up and other projects in the community. The Grantsville Lions Club was rewarded for its efforts by earning 1st place in the Lions 29-L District Governor's contest for clubs up to 20 members. The major sources of revenue for the club are the carnival and bingo at the Wood Festival, and a variety of fund raisers throughout the year. All money collected in these efforts is donated back to the community. The club wishes to thank all those who have helped the club this year, our loyal bingo players, those who donate used glasses, and other groups who work with the Lions on projects. Club members are, Larry Baker, Shirley Ball, Ruth Beall, Robert Beall, Marilyn Beecher, Bob Bonar, Denzil Dye, Curtis Garretson, Jim Garretson, Curtis Gregory, Shirley Gregory, Doug McCormick, Jim McCormick, Jason Nettles, Denise Rexroad, Johnny Rexroad, Connie Sullivan, and Jim Sullivan.
