Lakeside Lions shine during the holidays
The upcoming holidays will be a lot brighter in Lakeside, thanks to local volunteers who are part of the Lakeside Lion’s Club efforts to bring community spirit to the area.
Those events include a free Thanksgiving dinner for all, as well as Christmas related events highlighted by a Christmas food basket and a Christmas event on Dec. 19th, with Christmas carols performed by Kids Zone volunteers and, of course, Santa.
The Lions Club epitomizes the noble spirit of helping people in the community. All are welcomed to become involved in the club or to help on specific projects. In addition to the list below, LakesideInfo.com will publish all the Lion’s Club events in our calendar at the top right of the front page so you’ll be reminded as they come about.
The Lion’s building is located at 890 Bowron Road in Lakeside. Here’s the rundown and contact information:
