Last Tuesday, Sergeant David Cutchin, Coordinator of the Bainbridge Public Safety “Kids ‘n Kops” Program, presented a Certificate of Appreciation to the Decatur County Lions Club.  The Club enthusiastically supports the program and on Saturday, Nov. 12, 2016, members worked with a fun-filled event at the Bill Reynolds Sports Complex. 

Sergeant Cutchin updated the Club on the Program’s activities and told of ways in which organizations and individuals can join with police officers in fostering trust and in creating a positive image of police in the eyes of our area’s youth.

Decatur County Lions Club members enthusiastically engage in activities that can make a positive difference in the lives of our area’s children.  The BPS’s “Kids ‘n Kops Program” and the Club’s own “Buford’s Bears Project”, in which teddy bears are collected and donated to area first responders to give to child victims of traumatic situations, are examples of the ways in which the Club supports the community.

Club activities extend through all levels of International Lions Clubs.  For example, just recently, a check and a large collection of Buford’s Bears went to help Albany’s storm victims.   There are many needs to be met, the Decatur County Lions Club strives to be of assistance whenever possible.
