The Dalton Lions Club gave $1,000 from its club and $200 collected at a recent Zone meeting, to a new Lions International program, Project New Hope, serving veterans. The program’s mission is to help ease the transition of combat veterans back into family life, especially those affected by disabilities or stress-related disorders. It offers veterans an opportunity to get away from home and enjoy outdoor activities and family togetherness in a peaceful, accessible setting. Each retreat features classes directed to the veteran, the spouse and the children to address issues common in reintegration. The Dalton club also gave $1,000 to the Lakeland Hospice House.
