Lions Salute Monroe Lions Club Christmas Projects
The Monroe Lions Club earns praise for two local initiatives connected to the Wisconsin 32nd Division. An Armory gathering let relatives talk by phone with Guardsmen at Ft. Lewis during Christmas, and a charter bus shuttled 39 soldiers home after last weekend’s blizzard. Both efforts required extensive planning and funding, but community cooperation ensured success, making these perhaps the nicest new Christmas projects the area has seen.
