Kendall Lions Club
The Kendall Lions held their meeting Tuesday, Feb. 21, at Flippy’s Bar and Grill in Kendall. The meeting was called to order by club president Eric Fry.
The main focus of this meeting was to make plans for this year’s Fundfest, which will be Saturday, April 1, at the Kendall Community Hall. The doors will open at 5 p.m., with the live auction beginning at 6 p.m. The Citizen of the Year Award will be announced at 7 p.m.
The Fundfest is the major fundraiser for the club and provides lots of different ways for those in attendance to go home with some real bargains. In addition to a live auction, there will be many items available through a silent auction, along with raffles and door prizes. Food and beverages will be for sale.
In addition to plans for the Fundfest, the club made donations to the Royall Post-Prom Committee, the Royall yearbook and the Sleep in Heavenly Peace child bed-building project.
Eric Zingler reported on his attendance at the Lions District Convention recently held in Tomah. Of particular interest was a convention speaker who had been very positively impacted by attending the Lions Camp as a child.
The next Kendall Lions meeting will be on Tuesday, March 21, at Flippy’s Bar and Grill.
