Welcome Claire Jauken! So excited to have Lion Claire join the Downtown Nashville club. I’m looking forward to serving with you more! Claire has already been very active — participated in the Potato Drop, trained to conduct eye screenings, and she has joined us in serving lunch at Luke 14:12. Thank you, Claire.

What a great and HOT day to serve alongside Williamson County Lions with their 3rd annual Potato Drop!!! 40,000 pounds of sweet potatoes were sorted into 10 lb bags and will be distributed to local food banks. Participating: King Lion Tina Beckham and daughter, Jessica Beckham, Claire Jauken (transfer Lion from Nebraska), and Ben Milstone (prospective member).
