Vinton Lions Club president Alan Woodhouse presents a check for $1,000 to Vinton-Shellsburg Sports Boosters board members Lisa Vogt, Betty Cayton, Barb Winsor and Renee Stein, standing at the high school concession counter where the women volunteer.  The Boosters provide all high school athletic uniforms, equipment requested by coaches, scholarships, signs and more; their many projects are listed on the plaques mounted around the window. The Lions raise their contributions through concessions also, selling funnel cakes and snow cones out of their trailer at football games. Stein said the annual donation is appreciated and Woodhouse added his appreciation for customers who buy from the Lions so they can contribute to community needs, including the high school athletic programs. The Lions have contributed over $17,000 to the Boosters in the last 15 years.
