Donation To Child Advocacy

CEO for child advocacy center, The Care House Of The Pee Dee, receives knapsacks from Lion President Waylon for distribution to a child in a suspected or reported case of child abuse. The center acts a stop gap until child can be placed in a stable environment. 

A Helping Hand

Members and guest gathered to stuffed knapsacks for child advocacy center, The Care House Of The Pee Dee. The center provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary team response to suspected or reported cases of child abuse. More often than not, a child is forced to leave home with just the clothes on their back. The knapsacks will provide some of the comforts of home until a child is placed in a safe environment. The contents include pencils, notebook, crayons, coloring book, stuff animal, toothbrush, toothpaste and soap.  

Helping To Protect The Environment

International President Tam issues a challenge to Lions of the world to plant one million trees. Lions have responded and to date have planted over eight million trees. Club members pictured above became part of the response effort.

Leo Ceremony

West Florence High School Leo Club, a project of the Florence Evening Lions Club, recently held their member induction and installation of club officers. Leadership. Experience. Opportunity. These are just a few of the rewards these young people gain from participating in Leos. They also happen to be the values that create the acronym of club name. Leo clubs provide youth volunteer opportunities – and are also a place to grow and have fun. 

Children Receive Early Christmas Treat

Children (15)  in need were treated an early Christmas. Each child received breakfast provided by McDonalds. Afterwards, Santa arrived on a firetruck to the cheers and tears of everyone including onlookers. Christmas gifts were given to all. Then came the big moment; each child escorted by Lions, Leos and guest, went on a $100 shopping spree for items of clothing in Walmart.
