Santa Calls

This is one of our club's favorite community service projects. We are partnered with our local telephone company, Frontier Communicatios via our special friend Karen Miller, who provides us with a bank of telephones at their office (caller ID blocked of course!). Each year, on the Wednesday before Christmas a team of Lion "Santas" call children whose parents/gandparents have submitted the request. Over the years we have called an average of 277 children each year. Ask our "Santas" about the great conversations they have had with the kids...it makes our holiday. Our female members also participate as "Mrs. Claus, elves and Rudolph" complete with jingle bells.

Adopt-a-Family at Holiday Time
