Four Geneva Mission Lions members traveled through eight classrooms at Mission Educational Center to educate 150 kindergarten through 5th grade Hispanic students about the American Flag (Bandera) and its meaning at the Annual Flag Day presentation. These students are experiencing their first year in the U.S. and are in this school for only one year to help them integrate into the regular school system for next year. Each student received an American Flag, and information page about the flag, and a snack. Assisting in the classroom presentation were Lions Robert Lawhon, George Salet, and Aaron Straus, as well as potential member Neil Griffith. The Geneva Mission Lions have been sponsoring this program, as well as Thanksgiving luncheon and Santa Claus at Christmas for the Center for over 30 years.
