The Frankfort Lions will help at the Summit Hill Junior High School Talent show on Friday January 27, 2012 in different ways. First, they will sell food at the food booth. Second, they will help direct the talent behind the scenes. Third, they will sell raffle tickets.

This year, the proceeds from the show will go toward the Have a Heart for Connor fund.

Connor Gill gets his head shaved during a recent fund raiser at LWN. The Saint Baldrick's tradition supports the fight against cancer.

Connor Gill is a bright young man born with too many birth defects ( arthrogryposis, prune belly syndrome, bilateral hydronephrosis, scoliosis and club feet) that have caused him untold hardships. His current dilemma is a broken down wheel chair. Without the chair Connor is immobile. The chair is specially made to fit Connor’s body. When it functions, the motorized chair allows him to move about the community . Repairs to the chair will cost $5000 and the break downs have become more frequent. Therefore, Have a Heart for Connor has set a goal to raise money to replace it with a new one. This is not a small undertaking, since a new chair costs $38,000 (That is more than most new cars cost).

Connor’s parents have been diligent about accommodating their son’s needs throughout his eighteen years, but the chair has become more than they can handle.

Frankfort Lions urge the community to come out to the Talent Show for an evening of entertainment, and to support a worthy cause. Entrance is $5.00 per person. The show begins at 7:00 p.m. at
