Members of our Athens Lions Club attended the Athens County Senior Day at the Athens Community Center today, Saturday, May 15th. Lions Dave Gehlauf and Mike Harrington shared our Message In A Bottle (emergency contact) program with the public. Approximately 100 kits were distributed to interested members of the public.

We also handed out a small Lions Puzzle (16 piece square puzzle) as a gift to visitors of our table. For those that have tried it and have been frustrated (because it can be challenging) - we have posted a photo for a finished puzzle on our website at: https://e-clubhouse.org/sites/athensoh/photos.php.
