Vermilion Lions Receive Donation And Give Back

The Vermilion Lions Club was once again living up to its long-standing tradition of service and community support during a series of meaningful presentations held in early February.

On February 5, Vermilion Lions Club Secretary and Treasurer Peter Clark, along with Lions members Don Good and Tony Kaminski, met with members of the St. Jerome’s Senior Student Council to receive a cheque for $430. The donation will go toward the Lions Club Santa’s Anonymous project, helping to support local families during the holiday season.

Later that same day, the three Lions members also met with Dawn Riley, Vermilion FOCUS Special Projects Director, to view the newly placed Lions Club decal on the back of the Vermilion FOCUS transportation vehicle. The Lions Club purchased the advertising decal placement to help support FOCUS with overhead costs of operating the van. The vehicle is used by the FOCUS organization to provide transportation for residents within town on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as other transportation needs within and outside the community.

The spirit of giving continued on February 6, when Lions member Hayward Vaters met with VIBE representative Pat Calyniuk to present $1,400 worth of toys. The donation will benefit the Indoor Playground and the Move Your Mood Moms program, supporting local children and families through play, wellness, and community connection.

Through both receiving generous contributions and giving back in meaningful ways, the Vermilion Lions Club continues to strengthen community partnerships and make a lasting difference in Vermilion and the surrounding area.
