Myrtle Beach Lions Club offers gratitude

The Myrtle Beach Lions Club recently completed our seventh annual Charity Luncheon and Silent Auction at Carrabbas Italian Grille. This event is a major fundraiser for our club and 100 percent of the money raised goes back into the community in the form of providing eyeglasses and hearing aids for needy children and adults; high school scholarships and support for the Grand Strand Miracle League plus other worthwhile projects.

We want to thank George Atkins and his staff at Carrabbas plus the many contributors to our silent auction from the business community and of course, the many friends and neighbors who attended our luncheon.

Myrtle Beach is truly a generous and wonderful community and we hope to continue to serve those less fortunate than ourselves. However, only with members can we do that so if you are interested in knowing more about our Lions club, please call 843-444-4081.

John Neely, Myrtle Beach Lions Club
