Russell Lions Club members organized a community ice event that raised funds for Lions Eye Bank and Journey For Sight. Volunteers handled all tasks, attendance stayed strong despite cold weather, and surprise appearances plus a skating show boosted support. The plan is to repeat the fundraiser for future Lions causes.
