I am proud to be a member of the New Berlin Lioness Club. It was a very special and heartwarming celebration of the Club's 50th Anniversary Sunday evening. A nostalgic display of items over the last 50 years was an amazing walk through history at Klemmer's Banquet Center. The photographic appearance of the Lion's Corn Roast stand of yesteryear was a sight for a lot of smiles. The New Berlin Lioness Club conducts fundraisers at the Lion's Wisconsin State Fair Corn Roast, at Fourth of July activities, and a special champagne breakfast every April. Money raised at these special events goes to numerous worthy causes.
