Support District M6 Lions Today
WE SERVE…. And Joplin Lions Club Branch needs your service!
Joplin Lions Club Branch is planning to induct their new members soon.
Since a Branch Club does not have a charter night, they are in need of some “Start Up” items. As the Parent Club, Carl Junction Lions Club has given them $100 to start and the President is receiving a gavel from the Joplin tornado.
How can M6 Clubs help? Perhaps a small monetary donation? Maybe something from the LCI Store? Your own ideas?! Contact Lion Marlene Payne, 2VDGE at mpschool@hotmail.com for more information of how to help.
