Howard
Lake Lions Club
We Get to Serve
The Howard Lake Lions is a service
organization
affiliated with Lions International. We hold many fund raisers to
support
our projects, such as Lions Eye Bank, Leader Dog, Hearing Dog, LCIF,
Camp
Friendship, Camp Courage, Campaign Sight First, The Wellness Van and so
on.
One of our major projects is Good
Neighbor Days in cooperation with the Howard Lake Fire
Department.
On this weekend event we do many projects as a joint effort.
Some of our
past and present fund raisers include Breakfast Buffets, Pork Chop
Dinner at the Wright County Fair, Wild Game feeds, Co-sponsor of
Spaghetti dinner, a Fish fry, a
Radar
run on Howard Lake, Haunted Houses, Golf Tournament, and hosted two
Branson concerts featuring Bruce Hoffman who grew up in Howard Lake and
now resides and works in Branson.
Locally we
have supported or donated to the
Howard Lake Waverly Winsted high school Athletic department for a
weight
room, the After Prom Party, Peer Helpers, Turkeys for Project Caring,
bought
eye glasses and hearing aids for needy students, donated to families
whose homes have been
lost to fires, bought wheel chairs, walkers, built wheel chair ramps,
donated
to the DARE program, donated to the Wright County Food Shelf, and one
of our bigger projects recently is the Silent Santa Program.
The City of Howard Lake has
had our help with
the Bathrooms at Memorial Park and Lions Park, also the fence around
the ballfield, new
dugouts, a LED welcome sign at the east end of town, a broom for the
city
tractor for sweeping the ice rink that we helped build. We also sponsor
a Teen Center at our Lions Hall.
Our new meeting
place
is the old Walker United Methodist Church building at
625 8th St. in
Howard
Lake, 2 blocks south of Hwy 12 on Cty rd 6
We
meet the first and third
Thursday of every month at 7:00 P.M.
