29. Community members may borrow crutches, wheel chairs, walkers, or portable bedside potty chairs by contacting any Lion. (All of our medical equipment was in the Lions room at the Chippewa Lake Community Building which unfortunately burned. We lost all equipment so if you know anyone who has walkers, wheel chairs, bedside potties, shower seats, etc. please encourage them to donate to the Lions Club.)
In Chippewa Lake, a poker run is held on the lake each year on the Saturday of 4th of July weekend to raise the funds necessary for these projects and others. In addition, the Chippewa Lake- Mecosta Lions man a food wagon at Remus Heritage Days and the Wheatland Music Festival. Serving the area and Lionism is a community and family affair! WE SERVE
