The South Oldham Lions Club has been
recognized by Senator Ernie Harris and the Commonwealth of Kentucky Senate
for the long history of community services upon the event of their 60th
anniversary. Click on link to see the
Commonwealth of Kentucky Senate document.
The
South Oldham Lions Club has over the years continued to sponsor and support the
Mets
team with the
South Oldham
Little League. Most recently, an
early 2009 proposal
was initiated by Lion
Tom Price and approved by the South Oldham Lions Club to give greater support to
the many young families and children who are a part of the South Oldham Little
League. His efforts and our increased involvement has developed into a
renewed commitment to the SOLL which has prompted our club to make a
considerable
financial contribution for
the new “Multi-purpose” building at Peggy Baker Park where many ball games are
played each year. This building will be called “The Lions Den”.
It is another example of our dedication to give
financial support for a needed facility in our community, especially for
these young families and their children who are the future of our county and our
club.
