The Owego Lions Club recently visited the Zion Lutheran Elementary School and Preschool for “Make a Difference Day”, and provided some much needed items for the school.
The Owego Lions purchased soccer balls, volleyballs, and jump ropes for the Physical Education Program at Zion. The members individually purchased glue, glitter glue, construction paper, crayons, colored pencils, markers, paintbrushes, pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers, index cards, loose-leaf paper, stickers, puzzles, and other items for the Art Room as well.
Owego Lions President Donna Henry, Lion Eve Kretsch, and Lion Phyllis Ludwig presented the items to the students and staff on behalf of the club.
