The Heritage Lions held a Christmas dinner for members, spouses and guests on December 13 at the Hoagland Community Center. A meal of fried chicken, ham, scalloped potatoes and green beans was catered in by Natalie and Lucas Foster, owners of the Hoagland Hayloft. Desserts were provided by several Lions members.
After the meal, Lion Jack Clear led the filling of Christmas goody bags for local shut-ins. Individual Heritage Lions members will personally deliver these bags and visit with the recipients.
48 bags, each destined for a specific person or couple, were filled with summer sausage, crackers, and many other snack items. Money for the snacks or the snacks themselves were provided by Meijer, Darlington Farms, Thrivent, and Nolan’s Repair. Children from the St. John Emanuel 4th grade class decorated the bags.
