Hudson Lions Thank Community for Support

The Hudson Lions Club extends its appreciation to community members for their generous donations of redeemable cans and bottles during its recent successful can drive. The club also thanks community members and Leos who volunteered their time to sort and bag the donations. Lions members were especially pleased to see residents leave bags of pull tabs at the curb for collection and encourage everyone to continue doing so during future drives. Pull tabs are collected year-round at several convenient locations throughout Hudson, including The Hive, The Federal Pub, Hudson Public Library, La Penca, St. Timothy Lutheran Church, Community Church of Hudson and Field of Greens. One cause especially close to the hearts of the Hudson Lions is childhood cancer. The club collects and donates pull tabs to Ronald McDonald House in Iowa City. The tabs are recycled by Marion Iron Company, with proceeds going directly to support the organization and the families it serves.
