Proceeds from the skeet shoot will assist the Lions Club in providing glasses, hearing aids and making operations available to needy individuals.

“We always have a lot of good fun and fellowship,” Nussbaum said. “Volunteer youngsters throw the skeet for us.”“To have a project like the sheet shoot be so successful for so many years is a credit to our Lions members.”
