  1. Is the Lion's club still on the right as you are going out of New Vienna on 28 (toward Martinsville). I recall it as a small white building kinda across from Dorothy Lane---am I on the right track here or confused? Thanks!

  2. Link, you are correct about the building at 576 West St., New Vienna. However it is now probably better known as the Clinton Highland Joint Fire District. My understanding is that the Lions donated the building with the understanding they can still use it for meetings – so they have a meeting place and the building has a great alternate purpose also.
