To the Editor,

The Weirton Lions Club recently held their “Dancing Thru the Decades” fundraiser at T. Kosciusko Hall in Weirton. What a success! The community members who attended were treated to great music from DJ Keith Shreve; a Chinese Auction; 50/50 raffle; and a wine wagon raffle. It was great to have community members, including some of our local City of Weirton council members and officials, in attendance.

The purpose of this fundraiser was to raise money to purchase hand-held eye screening equipment that Lions can use at local schools, health fairs and other events around the community. The screenings will give participants information regarding the status of their vision and whether they need to follow-+up with local optometrists or ophthalmologists for additional care.

The Lions would like to thank the following major sponsors of this event: platinum sponsor – Best You Boutique; gold sponsors- Lightning Lizard; Lauttamus Communications; Sweet Temptations Pastry Shop; Silver Sponsors – Reitter Renovations; Pet Portraits by Mary Ann; Wine and Beverage Merchants; Ferguson Tire; Flowers by M&K. There were many other contributors to the event including Giometti’s Catering; Weirton Lions; the Rotary Club of Weirton Heights; businesses and individuals too numerous to mention.

Thanks to all who attended and supported the Lions and our Weirton community!
