Lions Club Extends Thanks For Ongoing Support

Lions Club Extends Thanks For Ongoing Support

  The Water Valley  Lions Club wants to thank everyone for their generous support as we conducted our June golf tournament, the October White Cane Days Roadblock, the monthly first Saturday pancake breakfasts, Watermelon Carnival hamburger sales, and year-round cheese and chocolate sales.

  Also, several businesses around town are collecting your old eyeglasses. You can leave them at local banks, Dunn’s Country Grocery, Piggly Wiggly, and Seven Oaks Funeral Home. 

  In good times and bad times it is encouraging to know that people care about the needs of others. Your support will let us continue to help residents of the local area with sight and hearing problems. It also lets us support other Lions projects in Mississippi and Internatio-nally, that in turn benefit us when we have needs.

 For instance, your local Lions Club contributes (from other projects) to the Lions Club International Foundation (LCIF). Some may say, “Let’s keep our money at home.” The fact is that LCIF has poured more money into Mississippi in response to disasters than all the money Mississippi clubs have ever contributed to LCIF. This happened after Hurricane Katrina and others. Also funds came in after tornadoes hit Smithville, and yes, even Water Valley. The day after our 1984 tornado  LCIF made $10,000 available to help us here.

  Again we appreciate your generosity and want you to know we are ready to help in times of need.
