An ornament hangs on the Christmas tree outside at the Joliet Public Library at the Joliet Light Up the Lights Holiday Festival on Friday, Nov. 29, 2024.

The Streator Lions Club celebrated its annual Christmas party Wednesday, Dec. 4, at The Pines, with 15 members and their spouses in attendance.

The event began with an invocation by Lion Bud Gautschy.

Table decorations featured festive trees and lanterns, which were later given away as door prizes. Each guest also received a snowman decoration, crafted by Lion Carolyn Erler.

The next Lions Club meeting will be 6 p.m Wednesday, Dec. 18, at Eastwood, 2000 Eastwood Ave.

The club also is seeking new members. Those interested in joining the organization can contact any Lions Club member for more information.
