By LEAH SANDER Staff Writer Grass Creek may be a tiny community in Fulton County, but it’s got a Lions Club going on more than 50 years of existence. The Grass Creek Lions Club has been around for 51 years. It has about 35 members, said Jim Dague, one of the founding members. Current leadership includes President Brooke Rentschler, Vice President Denise Baker, Secretary Martin VanMeter and Treasurer Anna Hendricks. Club meetings are 7:30 p.m. the first and third Mondays of the month at the old depot in Grass Creek. The club does a variety of service projects including vision screenings for Caston School Corp. students and buying eyeglasses for students in need. It also gives out scholarships to graduating Caston students and Christmas baskets for area widows and widowers. The club also donates for Leader Dogs for the Blind out of Minnesota, providing vision assistance dogs for people. The Grass Creek Lions Club raises money through a golf outing and three fish fries a year, with Caston FFA students helping with the fries. Its final fry of the year will be 4:30-7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, at the Wayne Township Fire Station in Grass Creek. Two of the club’s members, Dague and Tim Uhrich, are also visible at area parades through their driving as Racing Lions in go-karts, along with Rochester
