Lion's Club Annual Golf Tournament Raises Funds for Club Projects

April 23, 2026 - Center Noon Lions Club Golf Tournament was a beautiful day enjoyed by ten teams competing in an annual event at the Center County Club for fun and to raise money for the Center Noon Lions Club’s projects.

First place team was “Preferred Shop,” followed by second place team “High Rollers,” and third place going to team “Farmers State Bank 2.”

The club has given away well over a million dollars to local charities, scholarships, and special projects.

Thank you to everyone including sponsors and players for making the day a success.
