DE WITT NOON LIONS CLUB ACTIVITIES AND PHILANTHROPY
During the fiscal year ending June 2011, the De Witt Noon Lions Club made donations in the amount of $13,000 (E) plus. Our Club has in excess of 90 Members and we recently started a Leo Club at Central Community Schools. This was done through the efforts of Mike Thomas and currently may have over 60 school Members. The year end summary under President Joel Dieckmann is listed below. It should be said that it is impossible to list all the great and wonderful items that happened over the year. Our Club is living proof of the Lions motto, "We Serve". It is amazing to see what can be accomplished when a group works together to better a community and area.
