80th Club Birthday!



80th Year Celebrated
At their April 12th dinner/business meeting, Freeport Lions Club members celebrated their 80th year of serving the Freeport Community. Dessert was a large “We Serve” cake baked and decorated by Mary Jane Zimmerman, wife of Lion Member, Dennis Zimmerman. The club was chartered on April 7, 1936.
 
For 80+ years, the Freeport Lions Club has continued to provide services for vision- and hearing-impaired individuals of all ages, as well as support many other projects specific to the needs of the Freeport community, such as scholarships, school supplies, music and art education, recreation areas and youth sports.
A big “THANK YOU” to the Freeport community who support and participate in our fundraising activities such as our “Say Cheese” sales, Rose Days, Diabetes Awareness Days, Candy Days, Cruisin for a Cause car show, or simply drop a few coins into the many mint trays that can be found in city-wide food and drink establishments.

Citizens who donate to these local activities allow the Freeport Lions Club to continue to be an active force for good in the community. Thanks again. You make us proud!
