At 73 years and counting, few if any local organizations have helped more youth than the Cadiz Lions Club. That’s one of the many reasons why The Way is gratified that the club has chosen to sponsor our ministry.

“I praise God for those who are devoted to providing such a wonderful place for our youth,” member Ann Knowles said.

Serving local youth is nothing new to the Cadiz Lions Club. According to president Gary Knowles, the club provides scholarships to high school seniors, sponsors vision tests for Trigg County grade school and middle school students, and even hosts an annual Easter egg hunt at West End Park.

The club also helps sponsor Camp Crescendo, a camp free to children across Kentucky who are blind or visually impaired, deaf, infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, or in foster care of the custody of grandparents.

Sheila Sandler volunteers at The Way. However, she gives much more than her time to the ministry.

Sheila and her husband Ronnie, owners of Barkley Lake Homes Realty, are one of The Way’s most generous supporters. In fact, the business recently achieved gold-sponsor status.

“We believe The Way is a tremendous asset to our community,” Sheila explains. “We are blessed to invest in our future.”

“Intentionally or not, we are all investing in something that outlasts us,” adds Ronnie. “Make it count.”

For years, Ronnie worked for the U.S. Postal Service and Sheila in the healthcare industry while moonlighting in real estate. Eventually both left their professions to become full-time Realtors. After obtaining the necessary licenses, they opened Barkley Lake Homes Realty in 2014.

“We recognize that perhaps the major complaint with Realtors is a lack of dependability,” Ronnie explains. “That’s why we have made outstanding service our highest priority for the clients we serve.”

Joiner’s Auto Body, a member of the Trigg County business community for nearly 50 years, recently became a business sponsor of The Way.

“The Way is a really great thing for the youth of Trigg County,” Jason Joiner says. “Keep doing what you are doing.”

Joiner’s Auto Body opened in 1969 at the intersection of Highways 139 and 272, also known as Joiner’s Corner. In 2000, it moved to its current location on Glenwood Mill Road. Nine years later, Jason took the reins.

The shop features 11 work bays, pickup and delivery, and a rental car if needed.

Other services include collision repair, body and frame reconstruction, painting, electrical service, hail damage and dent removal, bumper and grille work, and ground effects and spoilers.
