We Serve Area Youth
Lion Fred Baue attaches custom-made brackets to the swing set being installed at the Iron River Lions Memorial Park. The brackets were fabricated and generously donated by Hood Equipment Inc.
Kayla Brannon is shown receiving the first installment of her $1,000 scholarship from Lions President Jeanne Joseph. The presentation was made August 15 at the Iron River Lions Golf Scramble. Proceeds of the Scramble provide funds for scholarships. Kayla will be attending WITC-Superior. Her connection with the Lions is not new--she was the 2007 Blueberry Festival Queen.
Thanks to Vice President Darren Hanson and his Special Projects team, the memorial plaque at the Iron River ball fields looks as good as it did when installed in 1983. The plaque reads, "Iron River Lions Memorial Park. 1983. In memory of all members of the Iron River Lions Club for services rendered to the citizens of Iron River." Additional work on the parks is underway in cooperation with the Town of Iron River and Youth Baseball clubs.
