The Morrison Lions Foundation has collaborated on an exciting Eagle Scout service project with Morrison Boy Scout Nick Kaufman and the City of Morrison, IL. The Lions are fundraising to build a 24′ x 32′ picnic pavilion at Morrison Sports Complex. It will cost $16,000 and include a concrete floor and “birdproof” ceiling for shade and sheltered eating.
To raise funds, the service organization will host an upcoming Lions Club Pancake Breakfast, on Saturday, April 5, 2014, from 7:00 to 10:30 a.m., at DQ Grill & Chill, 200 N. Sawyer Road, Morrison.
- Order pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, and coffee, milk, or juice,
- Eat in the restaurant; order at the drive-up window; purchase a convenient carry-out meal.
- The cost is a donation. Supplemental funding is provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
Donors unable to attend the breakfast can offer support by contacting Steve Wroble at 815-772-2476. Or to donate to the Pavilion Project, download a Donor Form from the club’s website at www.e-clubhouse.org/sites/morrisonil. Check out the Home Page or the Morrison Lions Foundation, NFP page for a link. Donor forms can also be obtained in Morrison from THE National Bank at 211 W. Main Street, or Sterling Federal Bank at 410 E. Lincolnway. Donations may also be left at either bank.
All donations received will be eligible as a charitable tax deduction if made payable to Morrison Lions Foundation, NFP, which has applied for 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. Consult your tax preparer for advice.
“Working with youth and providing a much-needed pavilion for the community reinforces the Lions’ motto, ‘We Serve’,” stated Board Member Bob Smith. He stands at right with Kaufman, Leo the Lion, and Lion Sandy Shetler.
