Just want to make the community aware that the Madison Township Lions Club is accepting scholarship applications up to April 20th. Eligible applicants must live in Madison Township or South Penn. Last year we gave out 7 scholarships totalling $6000. There are no requirements on how the money can be spent. You don't have to know a Lion's Club member or have eaten a Lion's pork chop in the past. We raise our money in our community and try to spend it in our community. Cosmetology and trade schools are acceptable. You can message me and I will get an application to you. FYI May 16th is the date of this spring's pork chop carryout. Mark your calendars!
