The Columbus Lions hosted their annual VIP (Visually Impaired Persons) Luncheon at the Tryon First Baptist Church activity building on April 18. The eighth-grade band of Polk County Middle School, led by Matt Putnam, provided entertainment. Food was provided by the lady Lions and was served by other Lions. The students and Lions were seated among the VIP guests as all were dispersed around the dining room so that there would be a mingling of the generations. There were a lot of happy smiles all around.
