The Vinton Lions Club recent Chili supper raised funds to support  Eastern Iowa Honor Flight. Eastern Iowa Honor Flight Board President Dick Bell and Vinton native Roger Uthoff, Advisor to the Board were at the Wednesday meeting receiving a check for $3,900 from Vinton Lions President Scott Barron and Treasurer Dr. Alan Woodhouse.

For the sacrifice and service they made for our freedom, the mission of the Eastern Iowa Honor Flight is to provide veterans with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit monuments and memorials built in their honor. Their goal is to take every veteran who applies. More information on how to apply and testimonials may be found at  www.eihonorflight.org.  

Vinton Lions Club is grateful to our community and the generous support and participation in the donation of funds for this opportunity.
