GAINESVILLE - The Gainesville and North Hall Lions Clubs have made a $1,000 donation to Gainesville Parks and Recreation's Children at Play Fund. <br />
<br />
The program helps fund programs such as youth sports, learn to swim and camp - regardless of their ability to pay. Since its inception in 2006, more than $170,000 in donations and grants has allowed hundreds of local children participate.<br />
<br />
Gainesville Lions Club President Herman Jones and North Hall President Ray Chastain are "proud to be a part of the world's largest service organization and felt that the donation to the Children at Play Fund was a good way of giving back to the community."
L-R: From the Lions Clubs, Ray Chastain and Herman Jones and Gainesville Parks and Recreation'S Melvin Cooper and Brenda Martin.
