CLUB PROJECTS
Since our club was established, we have raised in excess of $50,000.00. We have been able to raise this money through the generous and unwavering support of the businesses and private donations of individuals in and around the East End and Landmark communities. Businesses and individuals have donated substantial amounts of both merchandise and money to our various projects. Every donation and purchase over the years has made it possible for us to contribute significantly to our communities, help fund Lions International, and we look forward to their continued support in the years and decades to come.
A few of our club projects include:
- Donations to the East End, Landmark and Sardis Fire Departments
