Kettle Challenge: Lions ring bells for Salvation Army at Lorain Walmart.

Lorain Lions and friends took up the Salvation Army Kettle Challenge by turning out to collect money for the needy at the Lorain Walmart Store on Saturday, Dec. 19. Lorain Lions are in competition with Lorain Rotary Club to see who wins the Championship Trophy for most money collected. Rotary rang bells on Dec. 5 at Walmart.
