Lions Fish Fry to support college scholarships

For the last seven years the Guthrie Lions Club has raised money to support two $1,000 college scholarships for deserving Guthrie High School seniors through its annual fish fry. This year the fish fry will be held on Friday, Sept. 23 at the American Legion Post in downtown Guthrie.

Tasty fish and all the trimmings will be served both at lunch (11 – 1 p.m.) and dinner (5 – 7 p.m.). The cost of this all you care to eat feast is $8 in advance and $10 at the door.

Janna Pierson, fish fry co-chair, noted, “The club members prepare and serve these tasty morsels of fish each year in order to help college bound high school seniors from Guthrie. It gives us great pride to support these young men and women on their quest for a college degree. It is part of our service to our community.”

Lion Barry Anderson (Fish Fry Master) added, “Come join the Guthrie Lions for great food, wonderful conversation and the opportunity for very special fellowship. Bring the whole family. It is spectacular food for a very special cause.”

This year the club has added a silent auction to its fund raising efforts.

Lion Frank Davis, auction chair, says, “Come see and bid on our fantastic array of one of a kind items that are on the auction block. There are treasures to be had and of course the proceeds help send more high school seniors to college.  Enjoy the food, conversation and of course bid, bid, bid.”

The Guthrie Noon Lions Club meets every Friday at noon at the Oklahoma Sports Museum.  Each week, in addition to a wonderful meal and meaningful fellowship, a special guest presentation is made, generally focusing on a program, process or activity that directly affects our community and our lives.

Membership is open to all who want to make a difference, to all who want “to serve.”  For more information concerning Lions and the Guthrie Noon Lions Club please contact membership chair Richard Ireton at 282-3086.
