Senior Resource Center Event

October 7, 2012, VFW Post 998, Freeport IL – Freeport Lions Club volunteers helped cook hamburgers and brats, served food and drinks, and cleared tables at a fundraising event for the Stephenson County Senior Resource Center. A live Polka band presented entertainment for dancing during the dinner event. And many local businesses provided products and services for a silent "raffle-type" fundraiser.

Shown sweating over a hot, smoky grill are (L-R) Lions Darla VanBuskirk, Bert Kirsten, Joe Serafini and Rich Montgomery.

Lion volunteers (and spouses) included Rebecca Shriver, David (and Angela) Snyders, Troy Pettis, Terry Anderson, Bert (and Linda) Kersten and Joe (and Nancy) Serafini, Darla VanBuskirk, and Rich Montgomery. Area co-sponsors included Union Savings Bank, Freeport Shopping News, Freeport Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center, The Journal –Standard, Big Radio, VFW Post 998, and Logan’s Bar & Grill.

Special thanks to Senior Resource Center Director, Kelly Ziemer Hillan, for providing the Freeport IL Lions Club another opportunity to be of service to an important part of the community.
