Thanks for Helping!

Lion member Rich Hughes presents a check to the Girl Scout Troop 152 for their help with our Holiday Flag Program last year. They got involved very late in the process, but we hope they can get on board at the start this year. We will monitor their participation level and pay them accordingly. Thanks for helping!

Thanks, Scouts!

Adel Lions Club presented the Adel Boy Scouts with a check for $4,000 for their help with the Lions Club Holiday Flag project last year. Thanks, Scouts! We couldn't do it without you. The Girl Scouts also helped towards the end of the year. They will be paid appropriately as well. Thanks to the Girl Scouts too. Hope they can help all of this year.

The Adel Lions club secured a donation of gloves, hats and playground equipment to the students in DeSoto. Pictured are Del Buchman, teacher and liaison for the school and the club, Angie Storck, the nurse in DeSoto, and Danny Webster PE teacher in DeSoto.

There were hats sent to the Adel Elementary this month and the Lions hope they can continue to help meet the needs of the youth through their service organization.
