The Hartville Lions Club sends a heartfelt thank you to the Lake Township community and businesses that supported its annual Chicken BBQ Fundraiser on June 7. The event, held in conjunction with the HWC Automotive-sponsored Come Back Car Show, took place in the Hartville Commons parking lot, the site of the former Longaberger Basket parking lot. Thanks to the community’s support, the event sold out.
Funds raised through this and other club fundraisers are not used for club administration. Instead, they support a variety of causes, including disaster relief efforts at the state, national and international levels, juvenile diabetes, pediatric cancer research, Lake FISH, the Lake Community YMCA and scholarships for Lake High School graduates in partnership with the Uniontown Lions Club.
The club also provides gift cards for local families at Thanksgiving and Christmas, sponsors Hartville Boy Scout Troop 45, supports a local Girl Scout troop, conducts youth and adult vision screenings, and helps provide eyeglasses and eye surgeries for community members who cannot afford them…
