Grundy Center Lions Club - Lions e-Clubhouse

Our club was pleased to hear Carrie and Lisa speak, at our October 28 meeting, about the Christmas in Grundy County event for 2024. We voted to donate $1,000 to this. Pictured here are GC Lions President Dean with Lisa, Carrie and Darrel (club treasurer).

Thanks to the man inside the Lion suit. He says, "The lion had a blast again for the boo trick or treating in Grundy Center this morning! Thank you Grundy Center Lions Club for letting the lion have a roaring blast! He wants to do more!"

A good day it was. Thanks to Grundy Center Chamber-Main Street for the photo. I added another of their pictures from the Trunk or Treat area.

We sponsor 6 LifeServe Blood Drives each year. Recently we have had a push to engage new donors. We were happy to have a presence at the Summer Block Party in June and the Back to School Bash in August. Thanks to the volunteers for both evenings and to Grundy Center Chamber-Main Street for hosting the event. Finally, together with Grundy Center Kiwanis, the Grundy Center Lions provided funds to make the Foam Canon possible for the Back to School Bash.

We were happy to be part of the Felix Grundy parade in July 2024. Thanks to the volunteers in the truck (tossing out candy) and the one in the Lion suit.

On June 12 Kling Memorial Library in Grundy Center hosted a program by "Talewise the Science Heroes" for children, parents, preschool staff, some grandparents. Grundy Center Lions were happy to provide and serve a lunch following the program for about 100 folks. Thanks to the Lions volunteers who were able to be there! Thanks to Brothers Market for providing bottled water for everyone.

Grundy Center Lions Club is grateful for the ongoing community support of our continuous fundraiser through the 5 cent redemption of cans & bottles. This allows us to support many local endeavors by other groups as well as Iowa Lions and Lions International projects. In April 2023 our club made a significant commitment to support the Capital Campaign for Grundy County Memorial Hospital. This commitment will be paid over a 3 year period. Thank you everyone!

Our club was happy to support our local EMS so that all three ambulances could have a updated and safe way to transport children - whether from an ambulance to a hospital, or from Grundy County Memorial Hospital to another medical facility.

At our October 24, 2022 meeting, Lion Bob received the Distinguished Service Award, and Lion Rose received the Lion of the Year Award.
