TO BE JUDGED, ALL ENTRIES MUST BE PRE-REGISTERED.  Watch here for registration dates for the October 18, 2012 Parade:

 

PENBROOK LIONS READING DEN – What started out as a book exchange for our youth has grown to include reading material for all ages – children through adults. We are located in the Grace Church at 28th and Walnut Streets in Penbrook, and are open the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 10:00 AM-Noon. We have guest readers at 10:30. You can visit our Calendar to see who's reading next. If you have any questions OR if you would like to volunteer to be a guest reader, please call Lion Carolyn, Project Chair, at 671-7201.

EYEGLASS COLLECTION BOXES – Our new collections boxes are located in various businesses and churches throughout Penbrook and in the Penbrook Community Building. Please encourage everyone you know to place their used eyeglasses in these boxes – we can accept prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses, reading glasses and sunglasses. The glasses will be cleaned, sorted and distributed around the world. Help those less fortunate to see a better world.

ADAM HOOVER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP (JAN-MAY) – Our scholarship grant is presented to a graduating senior at his/her senior awards program. Recipients must live within the Penbrook boundaries. ALL APPLICATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE MAY 1 of the current year and will be awarded during the winner’s second semester. For questions, contact the high school counselors or King Lion Barry, Committee Chair, at barry.geeting@paycosupply.com (2011 Graduating Seniors Dominique Davis and Dwight Herb were chosen to be the recipients of the 2011 Adam Hoover Memorial Scholarship. Grants will will be honored during their second semester at their chosen schools.)

PENBROOK ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DONATION – To help support the youth of our community, an annual donation is made to the Association.

LIONS ALERT TEAM – The Penbrook Community Building has been designated as an Emergency Shelter, and in the event of an emergency, our local Emergency Manager and First Responders will go into action. The Penbrook Lions ALERT Team will become available to assist wherever possible. Members of our ALERT Team began training for possible property damage reporting in the event of a Declared Emergency Disaster. During the 2011 FLOOD, Lions met with EM officials are were ready to serve where needed.
