“This will be a fun event to raise money for our scholarship fund,” said Lions President Ruth Harrell. “We want to reach the younger audience and introduce them to what the Lions do-we serve. It's a wonderful way to partner community service and young people for a good cause. We all work toward meeting that need in the community, which is the goal of Lions.”
