Horton Lions Club

Thank you Horton for coming out to support our club at the Bike Rally! We had a blast working on bikes and seeing all the kids having such a great time! We had approximately 20 kids with bikes come through for everything from putting air in tires or oiling a chain to complicated repairs and having parts replaced! We also want to again thank Mr. Larry Cook with Bikes 4 Kids (based in Excelsior Springs) for providing expert repair assistance and donating so much time, parts and accessories, and even a new bike which was given away. Also, thank you to Horton Police Department and Officer Entrikin for providing basic bike safety information to all the kids that came through! We look forward to being able to make this an annual event.

We do still have a busy summer ahead but are working to put some more exciting things together! Stay tuned.

A more comprehensive post was promised and here it is!

Please join us at the Horton Elementary School tomorrow between 11 AM and 1 PM for our bike rally! We have prizes (see comments), a couple of bikes to giveaway, the Horton Police Department will be providing bike safety education and we have experts helping to ensure the kids’ bikes are safe and ready for riding!

It’s looking like a gorgeous (some of you might say slightly chilly but I’ll say gorgeous) day is in store so we should have a TERRIFIC event and cannot wait to see everyone there!

Thank you to Walmart for supporting local nonprofits! With their generous donation, we will be adding a few smaller giveaways to the bike rally this Saturday! I’ll do a more comprehensive post later but wanted to give a shoutout to Walmart for making our event even a little better than it was!

Also many thanks to the City Of Horton Police Department for providing bike safety education!

We love the support for our club and the service we strive to provide. We look forward to seeing everyone Saturday.

More to come soon!

Horton Lions Club will be assisting with hauling large items with our friends from the South Brown County Community Foundation! Let us know if you need help.

This weekend! We are looking forward to so many of our Horton residents getting out to brighten their corners! Special thanks to our Neighborhood Leaders who volunteered their time to visit with their neighbors and SBCCF to help organize cleanups in their areas! Special thanks to Mayor Stirton and the Lions Club for helping with hauling away unwanted items.

We are also thrilled for those student volunteers that will be helping tomorrow!

Great things ahead!☀️

Good morning FB world! I know I’ve been a bit quiet lately due to just having a lot going on in my world with work and other life matters but we have some exciting things happening!

1) We are actively working with some community partners to organize a neighborhood cleanup this Saturday! Hopefully more details will be known soon on this.

2) Saturday, May 2, we are doing a bike rally at the elementary school (see attached flyer)! We have a bike expert that has volunteered to be on-site to help fix bikes for the kids in our community (checking spokes, brakes, tubes, etc.) and we will have replacement parts to make sure the kids bikes are in working order just in time for summer! The Horton Police Department will be teaching bike safety at the event. Additionally, we have two bikes that we will give away at this event so please come say hello and have some fun!

I think that covers the big stuff. Please like and share this post and comment with the side of your kids bike if you plan to attend! (RSVPing is certainly not necessary but is appreciated so we can be as prepared as possible! Please feel free to come to the event even if you hadn’t left a comment).

Good morning Horton! It may be dreary outside but it’s looking bright from our seat! We are excited to announce that we are joining the South Brown County Community Foundation by starting a fund to assist in growing our mission of serving Horton through service projects! Thanks to the support of our community, we see nothing but big things on the Horizon! Come join us as we embark on this next chapter! Plenty of projects already in the works. Learn more at our next meeting March 14 at Scoops and Smiles Cafe at 8:30! Of course you can follow along here as well but we’d love to meet you in person!
