Menu includes fresh catfish, pinto beans, cole slaw, French fries, hush puppies, desserts, tea and coffee.

Dale “The C” Cummings will be the guest performer. There will be a silent auction featuring many gifts and certificates. 

The club will be selling chances to win a Mossberg MC1sc 9mm pistol and a second drawing to win a 10/22 Ruger Collector’s Series rifle. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20.  Winner must be 21 and pass an FBI background check. The winner will be announced at the event. 

This is a donation only evening in order to enable more people to attend. Donations will benefit the Lions Club scholarship fund, which awards two Yantis ISD seniors each $1,000 scholarships. The club helps fund local charitable projects such as providing children and adults in need of eye exams and eye glasses, donations to the Yantis and Land’s End Volunteer Fire Departments and for city park play equipment. The Lions Club helps with the Texas Lions Camp in Kerrville, which focus is on diabetes and special needs

There will be a box at the door for old eye glasses. These are repaired, cleaned, sorted and distributed to needy people in other countries.

The Yantis-Lake Fork Lions club motto is “We Serve.” For more information regarding the catfish fry or becoming a member of the Lions Club, contact Lion President Mary Bass at 903-850-1765.
