Former Sedalia Lions President Chris Koetting ( 2004-2005 ) and his son Chandler Koetting presented the Club with a donation Wednesday, March 4. Chris Koetting's mom, and Chandler's grandma Annie was in failing health and Chandler started a TikTok posting called Chandlerdurango about his grandma, titled Granny Annie, that had over 750,000 followers. A memorial was set up after Annie's passing, which brought in far more than Chandler needed for his grandmother's memorial. Chandler wanted these funds to be used for his community, and decided the Sedalia Lions Club serves that very purpose.
