On Saturday, November 19, 2016, the North Augusta Lions Club will celebrate its 80th Anniversary with a FREE “Luau” themed community event at the North Augusta Community Center.
 
Since the Club’s chartering in 1935, its members have worked on a variety of programs and initiatives such as providing eye exams/glasses, coordination of annual Christmas Parade, funding for leader dogs, blind fishing day, and North Augusta High School scholarships for seniors, management of ticket sales at NAHS football games, building and dedication of Lions Field and the Living History Park Sensory Garden, and much more. The motto of the Lions Club is “we serve”.
 
Faye Purcell, the club president, remarked “We are proud of our club’s 80 years of service to the community.  The Lions Club members thank everyone who contributes to our important work.  You are truly helping Lions make a difference in our community”.
 
The public is invited to attend this FREE event, on November 19th from 10a-2p.  A commemorative ribbon cutting will take place at 11:00am. Attendees will be given an up-close look at Lions programs and have a chance to visit with Lions community partners.  There will be youth activities to include a bounce house with slide, corn hole, fire truck tour, inflatable bungee, face painting and kids’ crafts.  You will also be able to sign up for the Lions Club Christmas Parade and get decorating tips for your float. Light refreshments will be served.
