CL Lions celebrate successful Guide Dogs event

The Canyon Lake Lions Club held a successful fundraising golf tournament last month with all proceeds benefiting the Guide Dogs of the Desert, a non-profit organization that provides fully-trained guide dogs to the blind at no cost.

This substantial donation was made possible because of the generosity of the participating golfers, sponsors, and those providing opportunity drawing donations. The Lions Club golf tournament was held at the Canyon Lake Golf and Country Club.
