PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (February 25th)

Fellow Lions, once again we are enjoying the benefits of living in Iowa, we only have to mow our grass three months of the year! If you have been a little busy shoveling and have not had a chance too mail out your pancake letters, please get that done this week. Our spring pancake breakfast is our biggest fundraiser and allows us to give back to our community. Lets make it successful!

We Serve ……… Mark Miller

Principal Powers presented a bucket and removed each item that had been placed in the buckets. The items include but are not limited to:
