Last Thursday, we had a program from the CHAMPS program of the Newton County Sheriff's Department. The extent and the effort the deputies led by Tim Smith (who is a member of our club) is absolutely terrific. There is nothing else comparable in the state.
We try to help when we can and direct our service to the areas where we can make a difference.

The world famous Lions Club chili supper is just weeks away. It will be on Thursday, February 12th from 5pm until 7pm. At our clubhouse in Academy Springs Park. The cost is $7 for adults and $5 for kids. All you can eat. Eat in or take out. Come eat with us and see folks you haven't seen since our pancake supper in September and won't see until our chicken BBQ in April. This is truly a community event. Make your way down Conyers Street around all of the construction. We'll have our parking lot clear and ice-free. We put our sign up to advertise, but it's been blocked with manholes.

I am pretty sure that the first thing on everyone's mind when they wake up is what's for supper. Have no fear, the Covington Lions Club has the answer at least for today. Our annual Pancake Supper is this very evening from 5 until 7 at Academy Springs Park. You could eat pancakes from 5 until 7 if you are up for it. The proceeds go to various Lions endeavors. We just did vision screening for about 3600 students in the Newton County Schools (1st, 3rd, and 6th grades). Stuff like that. So come have some pancakes with us

We wanted to let you know of some changes for this year’s Christmas Parade. After too many years to count, the Covington Lions Club is stepping aside from running the parade. We are very excited that the City of Covington will be the main ones organizing the parade this year. In the past, we have partnered with the city for the parade, so we expect a very smooth transition. And who knows what new and exciting things may come down the line in the years to come.

Registration will open Tuesday, September 2, 2025 for this year’s parade (the day after Labor Day.) Go to the the city's website to register starting Sept 2. We will post a link on our page closer to that day. The parade is scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 10 am.

For this year we will be working closely with the city personnel to ensure that the parade is a wonderful event for our community. We have loved organizing the parade for so many years, and we thank you for your years of support and efforts to make your floats and entries so memorable.

Thank you! John and Missy Braden and the rest of the Covington Lions Club appreciate you!
