I interviewed Mr. John
Summerville a Chemistry teacher at The Lions Club is a nationwide organization that helps out cities, town, and most public roads. The Knox Lions Club serves our community in many ways. The Lions Club serves not only our community but also the whole United States. To support our local community they have Fund Raisers such as; The Rose Sale, Boy Scout Hoagie Sale, Mystery Dinner Theater, Gumball Sales, Chicken Bar-B-Q, Broom Sales, Grill Raffles, and Sight Fund Drive. These Fund Raisers benefit people within the Keystone School District. Another thing they do is a poster contest, started before 1996, which let the fourth grade students at Keystone Elementary School make Drug Awareness Posters to place around the town. Not
only do they have Fund Raisers, but they do community clean up. They usually take
time to clean up our local parks, and raise money to put forth to fix them up.
They also do clean up along Highway 208. In
the past 4-5 years Knox has become a little cleaner. The Knox Lions has
sponsored a litter-free community. In doing so they purchased trashcans to put
downtown. Since then we have had a lot less litter problems. Anyone
who expresses any interests in becoming a member should tell an existing member.
That member should tell the president of the club. Later they will consider
adding you. After your approval they will send you information telling you all
about what activities they do, who they do them, and when they do them. As in any future plans they plan to keep the previous and present up and running. They might have some ideas pop-up. so they might just be adding new things to their long list. Source |
