This week on our Facebook and Instagram feeds, we've been highlighting 2022 LCHS business sponsor Moscow Central Lions Club. Since 1940, this local group has been committed to helping their neighbors in a large variety of ways. From installing flag holders to turkey raffle fundraisers, building playgrounds and hosting Easter egg hunts, they've done it and more.
