Norwalk Lions Club: July Starts OffWith a Big Bang
by Linda Echelmeyer and Linda Bussanmas
Norwalk is certainly well known for its wonderful
display of fireworks and drawing people into our
community from all over central Iowa. F nding for
the fireworks extravaganza comes from two sources:
the City of Norwalk and the Norwalk Lions Club. This
annual event is conducted by the Norwalk Lions Club
at McAninch Sports Complex on July 4th through the
generous support of the City of Norwalk, local
businesses and individuals.
It takes the efforts of the entire Lions Club members
to make this event a success. John Dagenais and his
crew of shooters are trained and skilled at creating a
colorful show the night of July 4th. Other Lions Club
committee members raise the funding to offset the cost
of the fireworks, offer bingo after the parade, and
return the next morning to clean up after the show.
The Lions are dedicated to making our July 4th
Celebration a memorable event.
For more than 42 years, the Norwalk Lions Club
has provided community services including providing
eyeglasses for those in need, eye screening in the
Norwalk area for children six months to five years old
through University of Iowa KidSight program,
supporting the Norwalk Food Pantry, generating four
scholarships to Norwalk High School seniors, planting/
maintaining the flowerbeds at the Norwalk cemetery,
and volunteering for various projects in the community.
The Lions Club is the largest humanitarian
organization in the world with 1.5 million volunteers.
When it comes to challenges, our response wherever,
whenever, and however around the world is simple:
We Serve. Meetings, the second and fourth
Wednesday of the month at the Norwalk Easter
Library, are open to everyone to attend. New members
are always welcomed to join this active community
group. Contact the Norwalk Lions Club President at
michele@smsparks.com or through the Norwalk Lions
Club Facebook page.
