NATOMA — By serving others, the Natoma Lions Club carries a message of hope deep into the local fabric of the small rural Kansas community.

Tireless work continues to impact a positive influence for all ages.&nbsp; 

During the Natoma USD 399 High School Commencement, May 14, Lion David George presented three students with $300 scholarships to their college of choice: Derek George attending Dodge City Community College; Gracyn Cotterill attending Toccoa Falls College in Georgia; Jillian Podrybau attending Northwest Kansas Technical School in Goodland. 

Students submitted information regarding volunteer work, excellence in academics, and essays describing their future educational plans.

For 90 years, the Natoma Lions Club has served the community with countless volunteer hours in a myriad of projects including scholarships for local students as Lion members live out the motto “we serve."
