The Branson-Hollister Lions Club averages around $90,000 a year in donations to the local community besides collecting glasses for people in need. Ron Leggins, Branson-Hollister Lions Club Trustee, District IT, and Past President conducted the meeting. About 70 people attended. The meal was catered by The Nook Restaurant in Hollister, MO.
