Baby barn for diabetes


By Bo Ford

The Crossroads and Area Lions Club has finished its seventh baby barn and are set to sell it.
The Lions Club has been building baby barns for seven straight years, with all proceeds from the sale being donated to diabetes.
Clair Jenkins engineered this years project, the 35-year Lions Club member said the barn is just about finished.
“We just have to put the doors on it, and the barn is pretty well ready to be sold.”
Jenkins said diabetes was just something they picked when they first started the projects back in 2005.
“Every year we do it all of the donations go to diabetes, it’s just been the same every year.”
The club receives donations from different locations and all the donations really make the project come together.
All members have taken part in the project, if not this year in other years, even the president Avery Blaxland.
Jenkins said the baby barn does not go under auction, it’s just a straight sale.
If you are in the need of a baby barn or are just interested in purchasing it from the Crossroads and Area Lions Club, you can contact Clair Jenkins at 569-3610.
