County Veterans Invited to Community Breakfast Sat. February 8, 2025

On behalf of the Clinton Lions Club, Lion Neal Vaughn presented a special award to former Anderson County Veteran Service Officer Leon Jaquet at the February 2024 Veterans Appreciation Breakfast.  Clinton Lions have sponsored the Veterans breakfast annually since the breakfast first began in 2016.

CLINTON—Military veterans from Anderson County are once again invited to come together for a community Veterans Breakfast to honor veterans. 

The breakfast, hosted by Anderson County citizens, is sponsored this month by Clinton Lions Club. The Clinton Lions Club has been serving the community since 1940.

All of the Veterans Breakfasts will recognize and honor local veterans and their families for their service to the United States.

Anderson County residents and community volunteers are working together to make the breakfast a free monthly event that will allow veterans of all ages and branches to fellowship and share stories together.  Veterans are welcome to bring spouses, family, or friends with them.  The City of Clinton is recognized as a special sponsor for hosting the monthly location and set up.  Local media is especially recognized for their role in letting veterans know about the breakfast each month. 

Many generous donors are also recognized for providing regular monthly door prizes.  Glenda Langenberg is February’s Donut Sponsor.
