The Lion's Club members spend the day cooking breakfast and lunch in the Neligh Senior Center on Tuesday. Breakfast was a free-will donation.
The organization is also looking for new members and encourages anyone interested in volunteering their time to stop by a meeting. They are held in their building on 5th Street on the second Thursday of the month at 6 p.m. The tractor pull following the parade at the Old Mill Days was as fun as aways in Neligh.
