As part of Lions International the Edna Lions Club supports various charities including SightFirst, an international club effort to eradicate blindness throughout the world, the Lions Crippled Childrens Camp in Kerrville, Texas, as well as several local projects. We raise funds for these benefits through various fund raising functions throughout the year, including chili suppers, gold tournaments, and turkey sales.
