Prairie Grove honors Lions Club and council member for community service
Summary
The Prairie Grove City Council presented its Hometown Heroes award to the Prairie Grove Lions Club and recognized council member Doug for long service and local philanthropy, including $5,000 in annual scholarships, during its July 20 meeting.
The Prairie Grove City Council presented the Hometown Heroes award to the Prairie Grove Lions Club during its July 20 meeting, praising the group’s annual scholarship funding and community events. “It is my distinct honor on the behalf of the city of Prairie Grove to present the Prairie Grove Lions Club with the award of hometown heroes,” the presiding official said during the presentation.
Council members and Lions Club representatives said the club distributes about $5,000 each year in scholarships (five $1,000 awards) and organizes major community events. A Lions Club speaker thanked the council “for acknowledging everything that the Lions Club does” and emphasized that funds raised are returned to students and local groups. The mayor and staff also singled out council member Doug for a separate recognition for long-standing civic service.
The council paused the regular agenda for photos and brief remarks, then moved on to public comment and the evening’s substantive agenda items. The presentation did not require a formal vote; the council used the occasion to highlight ongoing volunteer contributions to Prairie Grove.
