Sandy McCann is the second vice district governor of the Columbia Community Lions Club.

Columbia Community Lions Club charted Feb. 24 at Boone Tavern, and the newest service organization in Columbia now has 29 new members. They will be focusing on providing eye and hearing aids services and recycling both. They will also provide Pre-K supplies, do various environmental projects and lots more.

Lions Club meetings are open to the public. The next one is at 6:30 p.m. March 26 at 404 Portland St.
