The city of Idaho Springs had a celebration of Christmas in July.
Lions Mary, Barb, and Annie staffed an information booth to promote the Lions Club:
Each year the Lions Club presents a scholarship to a graduating senior from our local high school.
The presentation was at a ceremony at the high school.
The Idaho Springs Lions Club has a program for the city. We hang flags in front of stores on the main streets of town for each holiday during the year. The stores along the street contribute, to have a flag flown in front of their store. This way, it becomes a fund-raising venture for the club, funding a scholarship at the local high school.
Flying the flags is an outdoor activity, so we were able to continue the tradition even through the Pandemic.
Miner Street, the main street through the historical district, with flags flying.
Because of the pandemic, we have had to hold our meetings virtually. However, we have been able to continue many of our service projects.
On holidays, the club hags flags along the city's two main streets. Businesses contribute, to have a flag hung on their storefront. The contributions fund an annual scholarship for a high school senior.
Lions Jim, Jeff, Mary, and Annie get ready.:

The streets look very good with lot of flags flying:
The club has been meeting online, but we decided to try an in-person gathering for our annual picnic.
Each person brought their own food. We practiced the recommended social distancing as best we could.
It was good to be able to see each other.
