September 2022
The Venedocia Lions Club earmarked the money collected in the club’s donation jar in their sausage trailer at the 2022 Van Wert County Fair for the Lincolnview Band Boosters’ Instrument Fund.
The band is still using school-purchased instruments, such as sousaphones, from 1968. The booster club is currently holding a fund-raising drive to replace the old instruments, spearheaded by Jackie Goins.
At the end of the fair, the lions’ club had collected $660.55 which will go toward the fund-raising effort. The band boosters also work in the sausage trailer during many events to raise funds for their group.
