Vernon Hills Lions Club presents check to park district
The Vernon Hills Lions Club presented a check for $10,000 to the Vernon Hills Park District at the park district's Jan. 26 regular board meeting at the Larry Laschen Community Center in Vernon Hills.
The Lions Club will be moving their regular meeting location from the Laschen Center to the Sullivan Community Center, also in Vernon Hills.
The Vernon Hills Lions Club provides services and support to community members, the village of Vernon Hills, the Vernon Hills Park District, and other local Lions Clubs.
Some of those services include assistance with vision- and hearing-related concerns, scholarships to Vernon Hills High School and Hawthorne Middle Schools North and South, camp scholarships to Camp Lions, donations to area food pantries, and support for local participants in the Lions Clubs International Peace Poster Contest.
The Vernon Hills Lions Club has a long-standing relationship with the Vernon Hills Park District in providing manpower for several park events every year, including their upcoming fourth annual Craft Beer Tasting in March and the Hoppin' Holiday Hunt a few weeks later.
The Vernon Hills Lions Club meets at 8 a.m. the first Saturday of each month and 7 p.m. the third Wednesday of each month at the Sullivan Center.
