Best Social Club in Dahlonega

Okay. To be fair to the Lions Club, D&B hasn't been to a Dahlonega Lions Club meeting yet, so this is sort of a prejudiced Best OF Dahlonega & Beyond selection of Best Club. (Last  month, the Lions Club tied with the Dahlonega Women's Club in local voting for Best Club for 2011.)

But after just one visit to the Dahlonega Women's Club, D&B has to say, "Wow. The Lions Club must be amazing to have tied with the Women's Club."

Our guest visit at the Women's Club started with a mini chili cookoff to determine which chili recipe would represent the club at the town's upcoming chili cookoff. Then for the next hour, one group chairman after another told of the amazing work the club is doing - Meals on Wheels, senior citizen center visits, time and funds donated to the library, participation in the Lumpkin Literacy Coalition's Spelling Bee, trash pickup along the highway, a fund for purchase flower seeds for highway medians, volunteering for charity events, and the list goes on and on.

Does that club stay busy! The local joke is that every event the Women's Club participates in involves a meal of some type. We can see why. Those meals provide the members with the fuel they need to take on all the charity work and volunteerism they do.
