Lions Club Spreads Christmas Cheer
Bob Brastrup
Townsend Lions Club
The holiday season brings a sense of anticipation for fun and good times, capped with gathering around the Christmas tree for the opening of presents. For some families, however, unforeseen circumstances create a financial hardship that replaces that joy with disappointment.
The Broadwater County Lions were asked if they could help bring holiday joy to fourteen unnamed family members who would otherwise have a disappointing Christmas. The Lions are provided with a list of items that the families need.
Lion members Teena Larson and Dela Chatriand had fun doing the shopping. Purchases included bedding, clothing, toys, and food. The gifts are wrapped to help add excitement to the Christmas morning ritual of opening gifts.
Everyone in the community who has supported the various Lions fundraising projects can claim ownership in spreading this Christmas cheer as the funds raised allow the club to conduct projects such as this.
