Chamber Honors Sandpoint Lions Club

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize Sandpoint Lions Club as December’s Business of the Month. Tom Dabrowski, Vice President, was present at the Chamber’s Annual Holiday Luncheon to accept the award and cheer on the fundraising the Chamber did on their behalf for Toys for Tots. The Chamber raised $645 for Toys for Tots and topped last year’s contribution to the Sandpoint Lions Club initiative to make sure every child had a toy on Christmas.

The Sandpoint Lions Club has been serving the community since 1953. Their legacy is continued and their reach is still great. In the past, the Sandpoint Lions Club built City Beach and donated it to the City of Sandpoint. They also built and installed park benches throughout the City of Sandpoint.

The club has many annual initiatives including the Toys for Tots Drive which goes to help about 1,000 children. Those other initiatives are: providing about 500 food boxes at Christmas time, support and fundraise for the 4^th of July Celebration (parade, games for children at City Beach and fireworks), supply and place 200 American Flags on 8 difference holidays throughout the year, charging the businesses $40 per year, hold an Easter Egg Hunt at Memorial Field for over 500 children, give scholarships, provide hearing aids to those in need,  and sponsor sight programs by giving out eye glasses and contribute to the ‘Leader Dog’ program.

Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating the Sandpoint Lions Club for their success and thanking them for their commitment to our community. For more information, visit them at the Lion’s Den, 607 S Ella Ave, visit their website at www.sandpointlions.org/  or call them at (208) 263-4118.
