Getting to
know the
McDonough Lions Club! |
Lions International was
started by Melvin Jones in 1917 with this simple
question... "what if people put their talents to work
improving their communities?"
In 1925, Helen Keller challenged Lions to become
"knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness."
Since then, we have worked tirelessly to aid the blind
and visually impaired.
Dedicated to the needs of our
community, McDonough Lions Club raises funds and
supports: Haven House, Henry County
Scholarship fund, Eye exams and prescription glasses for
Henry County residents, Free Eye screening for students
in the Henry County Schools, GA Lions Camp for the
Blind, GA Lions Lighthouse Foundation, Leader Dogs for
the Blind, and Southeastern Guide dogs to name a few.
Our international network has
grown to include more than 206 countries and geographic
areas with 1.35 million members in more than 46,000
clubs.
Please visit us to find out more at
Mcdonoughlionsclub.org or

Summer nights
in McDonough, Ga are something to enjoy
outdoors -- with neighbors, family and
friends. Add some great music on-stage,
scrumptious food and cool beverages that
will make for a great evening listening to
your favorite tunes - including the
headliner band, Drivin N Cryin, entertaining
with a little Rock N Roll. Live music will
also be performed by Highway 55, a country
band, followed by Bogey & the Viceroy
playing Motown and R&B. “There will be
something for everyone!” Jennifer Price,
McDonough Hospitality & Tourism Board
Director exclaims.
The inaugural event will
follow the 35th Annual Geranium Festival,
which continues to draw visitors from all
over. The Geranium Jam outdoor concert will
compliment the festival, entertaining into
the night. “Concert goers can purchase VIP
Tables, or bring their own blankets and
chairs for lawn seating.” says Linda Schenk,
McDonough Main Street Program Director.
There will be local food and cool beverages
available, or attendees are welcome to bring
a picnic and cooler for the night.
“The excitement the new
outdoor concert is receiving so far is
great. We are already selling tickets and
VIP tables - and that excites us!” stated
Price. Tickets are on-sale now, and can be
purchased at the McDonough Welcome Center on
the square. For more information, visit
