Another very successful year was proven once again. We distributed thousands of fundraiser dollars that we collected throughout the year, to Local groups, State Charities and Local Organizations. Funds that came from the monthly Pasta Suppers, Plant Sales, a Walk-A-Thon, T-Shirt Sales, Misc. Raffles, Donations, Used Clothing Sales, and Lions Placemat Sales, all supported the Gifts that were given out. Thanks to all of the dedicated Lions and Patrons who participated throughout the year to help raise these funds.

Miscellaneous Information:

Our on-going major project is the Merchants Avenue "Taftville Firemans Memorial Park" renovation. Keep in touch for dates & times for work details. We have several projects planned.
