The 62nd annual Covington Lion's Club Pancake breakfast was held Saturday morning February 25, 2017 at Covington Integrated Arts Academy. This year's breakfast was a success. Club members and volunteers served 913 people and raised more than $13,500.  

"We had 19 of our 24 members working that morning along with about 30 volunteers whom we would like to thank, as well as The Leader," Lions Club member Ralph Cousar said.  "We also thank the Covington Integrated Arts Academy and the Tipton County Board of Education for the use of their facilities and all the sponsors and donors. This was truly a successful fundraiser and this will allow us to help approximately 170 local needy citizens with eyesight or hearing problems."
