Plano Early Lions Roar!

Cyndie Bunker (right), Plano Early LIONS Club president, presented a check for $1000 to Sara Rehwald, Program Director, and Janie Bordner, Executive Director, of Click for Success (CFS). Jack Durnin (left) is a volunteer with CFS, as well as a LIONS club member. As their web page points out, CFS promotes digital equity by bringing technology and mentoring into the homes of economically disadvantaged children. Children and families gain the technology skills and literacy they need to fully participate and succeed in today’s technology dependent world.

CFS is only one of the programs for Plano children that receive financial support from the Plano Early LIONS Club. Other programs include the LIONS Eyeglass program, summer camp for children with disabilities, and scholarships. The LIONS club also runs Magic Shows and Film Festivals to raise money for their projects. Recently, the club has run both the Plano 4^th of July parade and the Plano Christmas Parade.

New members and interested citizens are always welcome to join the club at their meetings. Meetings are held 1^st and 3^rd Saturdays at Southfork Hotel in Plano. Members gather at 7:30AM to enjoy breakfast before the 8:00AM start of the meeting. Meetings last about an hour and usually have a featured speaker.
