6/18/14 - The Fenton Lions Club is celebrating 50 years of service and helping people in the community with a special event tonight. The club was chartered in 1964 and works on a variety of projects in the Fenton community from purchasing eyeglasses and hearing aids for those in need to providing scholarships and helping fund the 4th of July fireworks display. Fenton Lion Melanie Hein tells WHMI from large to small projects over the years, they have quite a bit to celebrate this summer. She says itâs a special time and a significant milestone for the club to have been able to provide service and help in the community for the last 50 years. Hein says the Fenton Lion Club is celebrating the 50th anniversary tonight at the Fenton Winery and Brewery with a pig roast for members, area dignitaries including the mayor and city council, as well as others who have helped out over the years. Also per tradition, members will be barbecuing 350 chickens for the annual Fenton Freedom Festival on the 4th of July, which has been an on-going project for the last 40 years. (JM)
