To participate in the Lion's Mint Program, contact Martin McClellan at 824-4200. Mrs. Esther Ball, widow of the renowned Nevada artist and former Reno Host Lions Club President, has donated a number of lithographs of Lyle's favorite paintings to the Reno Host Lions Club to be awarded as prizes in the annual Lyle Ball Raffle. Tickets are available in March, with the drawing in early April. Proceeds go to the Reno Host Lions Lyle Ball Endowed Scholarship Fund at the Truckee Meadows Community College. Through strategically-located golden collection bins at area markets and churches, Reno Host Lions have collected more than 1,000 tons of newsprint every year since the commencement of the project.
Newsprint is recycled into new paper, cardboard, and insulating material.
Collections are made through the assistance of Reno Disposal Company. Our program is made possible only through the generosity and community spirit of the businesses that provide space for the collection bins. For more information, call Don Muckel at 348-6423.
