Upper Lehigh Lions Club will have an all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Schnecksville Fire Hall from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Jan. 12.

Menu includes ham, sausage, scrapple, scrambled eggs, pancakes, potatoes, and beverages.

Member Harold Reitz will model costumes he has worn at various events, such as the Philadelphia Mummers' Parade and the annual Clown Fest where he won the People's Choice award again this year.

The Lions served 234 people at the pig stomach dinner in November.

President Ed Beishline said the food was enjoyed immensely by those attending.

"I had my eyes opened at the pig stomach dinner," Beishline said. "Those people came to eat, and eat they did."

He thanked all the Lions who worked to make it a success, including Chairperson Marsha Bishop and Reservations Director Carol Snyder.

Lion Ruthann Krause provided her "secret" recipe for the pig stomach.

The Lions collected 25 pints of blood for the Miller-Keystone Blood Center at their annual outdoor festival.

Recently, the Lions prepared 65 boxes of holiday cookies for recipients of Meals on Wheels and gave $275 to the Allentown Blind Bowlers Association to cover the cost of one individual for the season.

The Lions donated $3,000 to the Center for Vision Loss, which provides services and support to blind and visually impaired clients in Lehigh, Northampton and Monroe counties.

The organization helps individuals maintain independent living skills even though their vision is limited.

Kenny Morse, a senior at Lafayette College, was an intern at the Center for Vision Loss last summer.

He reported on the primary lesson he took away from the experience.

"I learned to never underestimate the handicapped because what they lack physically, they make up for in so many other aspects of their lives," Morse said.
