The Lakeland Lions were formed in November of 1981. Through the years they have conducted many fund raisers to support their local, national and international Lion’s activities. On Tuesday April 19 they held their annual meeting with the local schools, charities and organizations they support, to distribute the funds they have earned this year.
Club President Calvin Sammons announced to the meeting that this year the Lakeland Lions had achieved a historic milestone. From its founding in 1981 to today, the Lakeland Lions Club has raised its one millionth dollar that has been distributed to individuals in need and to local, county, state, national and international charities and organizations in support of Lions activities.
