On Tuesday night, the Lions recognized that generosity with its Helen Keller Benefac- tor award. Lions President Tom Gill said the Astoria group would be unable to carry out its mis- sion of aiding eyesight without the some $20,000 it raises each year by recycling surplus from the Astorian. Accepting the award, Daily Astorian Editor & Publisher Steve Forrester thanked the Lions for making a ground-breaking gift to the Liberty Theater’s restoration in 2000. In its annual election, Char- lene Larsen was chosen as president.
