The Trenton Lions Club met on Tuesday, Aug. 11 at the First Christian Church fellowship hall.
President George Moore led the pledge to the U.S. flag followed by prayer by Jim Cox. Rex Ross served as “tail twister.”
Program chairman Lannie Harkins introduced Jeri Webb representing the Green Hills Animal Shelter, who told a history of the shelter that was formed in 1999 with a 12-member board of directors. Non-profit status was approved in 2000. After operating initially in the former Maggie’s Mess building, the shelter moved into its current location in 2007. Orscheln’s Farm and Home donated the building to the shelter, allowing the board to use its building fund to renovate that structure to accommodate the needs of the animals that it shelters. Donations of items, building materials and labor, and community support led to the creation of the current “promise shelter.” Animals are cared for in this shelter with the hope of placing animals in “forever homes.”
The next meeting of theLions Club will be held on Aug. 18 with George Moore as the program chairman.
