DeSoto was well represented at the Build Beds for Kids event on Saturday October 3rd in Irving TX. From left to right: in red, volunteers for the Denise Valentine Foundation, in the gold Lion's vest, DeSoto Lions Club President Russell Hooper and on the right representatives of the DeSoto Junior R.O.T.C.. They, and other team members, were all there to build beds for kids that do not have a bed to sleep on each night. The event was a joint project of Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Lions Districts 2-E2 & 2-X1. The DeSoto Lions are making a difference in our community. Image that you are a child without a bed to sleep on at night, and through the efforts of Sleep in Heavenly Peace and the Lions, your own bed is delivered to you at no charge and that bed comes with a mattress and all the coverings. Now image how you can serve others through your local Lions Club.
