Natoma Good Citizen Shawna Dunlap Awarded

The Natoma Lions Club presented Shawna Dunlap Natoma's Good Citizen of the Year Award during the evening Labor Day Celebration on September 4.

The Lions members nominated her for providing a positive performance within the community by exceeding expectations in a myriad of tasks.
