Fire department receives Lions Club gift for oxygen gear
The Morris Lions Club presented $500 to the Morris Community Fire Department for oxygen equipment. The Lions earmarked $300 for the project and $200 from the Grundy County Corn Festival, redirected after the Statler Brothers concert success. Special guests included Morris High School fall sports captains, coach Dan Darlington, AD Dick Anderson, Corn Festival chairs Tom Dzuryak and Norm Jenkins, and Duke Eddelman of UIUC spoke. The drive raised about $2,500, with funds to go to Lions of Illinois Foundation and Community Light and Hearing Conservation programs.
