"Susie Q’s Kids Inc along with the support of the Sterling Heights Lions Club donated 80 bags to the Children’s Program at Turning Point Shelter. These bags are filled with personal need items, stickers, activity books, crayons, card games, a stuffed bear and a cozy blanket. These bags are given to the children when they enter shelter as a Welcome Bag. These bags always bring a smile to the children’s face and it offers some comfort."

"My Name is Dawn DeClark and I have been a member of the SHLC for over 2 years. My Aunt and Uncle are also members, so for me, it was a no brainer to become a Lion. My Grandfather was also a Lion for over 35 years. I have been very proud to be be a part of such an amazing organization and learn about the charities that we support, like Leader Dogs for the Blind, Project Kidsight, and Penrickton Center for Blind Children, among others! I look forward to many more years of serving those in the community and working with other Lions!"

"I feel like the Sterling Heights Lions are continuously taking time to listen and learn about what we can do for the community. They listen to the board and volunteers in other organizations to do the best they can to make us as successful as we can be. I feel we have a mission and a vision for how we run our club on a daily basis. Our community needs us and I do feel we aim to be successful to help them with current solutions and try to solve any problems. Our support is crucial to the community! I feel the sterling Heights Lions Club gives everything to the community that is possible to give. Together we are a team! Every drop of support counts.
