NATOMA — Natoma Lions Club continues to serve with a myriad of projects throughout the year with an emphasis on giving sight to the blind around the world, diabetes awareness, disaster relief and other projects, nationally and locally.

Following the devastating flood and Four County wildfires in 2021, the club members provided financial assistance and gave hundreds of hours in labor throughout the months that followed into 2022.

The Natoma Lions Club was joined by the American Legion Post 109 and the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 109 in their annual pancake supper to honor the family in remembrance of former Lions Club member and veteran David George.

Additional volunteers came alongside in the joint effort from as far as Nebraska and Arkansas. The hometown organizations give credence to the Heartland’s heritage of serving others.

The Saturday event raised funding for future projects including the community calendar. Midwest Energy announced a grant donation to the three organizations for their various projects, including the Lions Club community calendar.

Natoma residents may choose to have their families’ birthdays and anniversaries listed; Natoma USD 399 listings of school activities for the entire year; Natoma community’s celebrations and meetings also are listed. The calendar is a vital asset in connecting the hearts and minds of Natoma residents.
