“We don't raise billions of dollars.
There is no money going to any (club)
officer,” Anthony said.
Some additional flair will be added
to the event this year with Chris Cakes

cakes high onto plates for those brave
enough to catch them.

Breakfast itself has been more than 10
years in the running,” Anthony said.
“The Canton Lions Club is part of an
international organization.”

Roadnorth of CherryHill Road.

includes a 5K race, Anthony said, “It's
just a good opportunity to start the
morning off right.”
The Lions buy eyeglasses for school-
children, with Anthony noting helping
with hearing impairment was “sort of a
natural progression.”
Charities getting Canton Lions Club
Foundation support include:
Penrickton Center for Blind Children
in Taylor, Michigan Eye Bank,
Rochester Hills-based Leader Dogs for
the Blind, Ever Site, and Livonia-based
Seedlings, which provides Braille

Staff members at Penrickton, like
Janet K. Ames, the community rela-
tions/social worker, are solidly behind
the Canton Lions as well as other Lions
who help.
