The Trion Lions Club is passing a milestone this year – the organization will celebrate 80 years of existence and club members are seeking any information anyone may have about the local Lion Club’s history.

The Trion Lions Club was founded in 1939 and local members say that they are looking for anyone that has information, pictures or any other history on the organization.  Club member Ann Brown told WZQZ News that the group is planning an 80th Anniversary celebration in March and is looking for the information to include in the celebration.
