Lions Club Funds Youth, Disabled

Several community organizations that help youth and disabled people got a boost this summer from nearly $12,000 in donations from the Garden Grove Host Lions Club.

The club raised the money by operating food booths at the annual Strawberry Festival, a golf tournament and other special events.

The largest gift, $2,500, was given to the Garden Grove Boys and Girls Club. Other beneficiaries were the Garden Grove Assistance League, the Lions Camp Wilderness Fund, Foundation for the Junior Blind, the Braille Institute and the Blind Children’s Learning Center.
