Sunburst Lions Host Fifth Annual Prom Dinner
On April 11th, Sunburst Lions hosted twenty-five North Toole County High School students at their 5th annual Prom Dinner. PDG Mike Tobin (complete with a tux & tails) and Lion Missy Nau (in an elegant dress and silver jewelry) greeted and signed in each student and escorted them to their tables where Lion Dan Nau served sparking apple juice and entertained them with fabulous jokes.
The meal was prepared and served by a dedicated group of lions who put in over 80 hours to provide a beautiful setting at the Sunburst Methodist Church complete with china and crystal on the tables and decorations for the theme of this year’s prom. Homemade artisan bread was in baskets at each table. The students were served salads followed by BBQ Steaks (Courtesy of Chef Lyle Benjamin) or baked Pork Chops, cheesy mashed potatoes, and roasted green beans. The meal was topped off with chocolate pudding cake w/vanilla ice cream and delicious lemon fluff desserts. The Sunburst Methodist Church pastor, his wife and one of the student’s grandmothers joined the 20 Lions to make this a very memorable experience.
