Fellow Lions President s Letter September begins another year for our Club. If we can match last year's performance-it would be an awesome accomplishment! The board has had its summer meetings and nothing dramatic has happened. The budget will be similar to last year with few changes. No need to raise dues. We will meet at The Cottage the 2nd Monday and at The Squire the 4th Monday. We are reviewing our website to look to improve and upgrade it. The first meeting is Monday Sept. 10th at the Cottage. Looking to have a good turnout. Candy Days will be on our minds this meeting as well as manning the Beer Tent at The Immanuel Lutheran Fall Festival. Lion Mark Daniel has been busy getting the sites booked and signing up Lions for shifts at the various locations around town. Please let him know when you can help and also-sponsorships for $80 a case are a big part of Candy Days. Lions John Landon and Tom Ranzak are running the beer tent at the Church Fall Festival. This takes place the September weekend of 09/21 to 09/23. Modern Day Romeos is playing there Saturday night and they usually draw a big crowd. Pray for normal fall weather (last year sucked)! Need Lions to help man the tent. Great time to bring your spouse. friends, and neighbors to help out. Please put the Steak fry on your calendars now-saturday Feb. 2nd. This should be an all Lions in event. Getting sponsorships is the key to a successful event-all should partipate!
