Lion scholars announced At the May dinner meeting, Lions will meet and honor the five education awards winners for the 2009-2010 school year. The recipients are Kane Crabtree, Brooke Dixon, Mitchell Richey, Lindsey Rose and Ashton Withers. All are seniors and Brown County High School. These five were chosen by our Education Awards Committee from a deserving group of applicants, based on our observations of their service to school and community, their character, their academic ability, the special circumstances of their lives, and their financial need. Committee members are Chuck Adams, Rich Greeno, and Gene Niednagel. The Lions Education Awards are given in memory of Daily F. Hill, Samuel G. Johnson, and Louis E. Macon who made it possible for the Lions Club to have these scholarships. All three of these Lions achieved their life goals through education and hard work. The five, one-year awards are in the amount of $1,400 each, and are provided for through fund raising projects each year by the Brown County Lions Club and through memorial endowments set up for this purpose at the Brown County Community Foundation. Each of the education award winners may invite two persons to be with them at the May meeting as guests of the club. The awards were first made at the Senior Awards Program 2009 on May 11 at the high school auditorium.
May 17 meeting to feature Gilmore The May 17 dinner meeting will include a presentation from Christine Gilmore, retired from the National Board of Organ Procurement.
Log Cabin Tour signing up parkers Lion Don Stuart and his crew of Cabin Captains are feverishly signing up folks to help park cars at the Psi Iota Xi Log Cabin Tour, June 6 and 7. When they call, they hope you say, “Yes!” The parkers work 3-hour shifts, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on either Saturday or Sunday. Lion Don and the captains have carefully planned out the parking arrangements to make moving the 1,200 expected guests smoothly through the tour. Each cabin takes 3-5 parkers, meaning they’ll need about 75 Lion parking shifts. The Lions have run parking for much of the past decade. This is the first time we’ve used captains, so you may accidentally get multiple calls from captains. Please try not to sound too annoyed at those who call!

Light bulb giveaway a big success Not only were the parade participants shining brightly on parade day, but so were the CFL lightbulbs the Lions were distributing in honor of Lion Allan Hazelbaker. We have over 1,000 bulbs left, so look for those to be given away at the 4-H fair and the fall pancake breakfast.
Playhouse gearing up for busy summer Lion Playhouse Chairs Jerry Simo and Jim Rispoli announce that the Playhouse concession is well in hand with all four captains recruited. In addition to the regular performances, there are two Merchants’ Nights to thank local businesses for their support of the Playhouse. Sign up to see each play this summer!
From Lion President Rick Fellow Brown County Lions, I want to thank everyone who participated in the Spring Blossom Parade. I am glad the weather co-operated, especially since we were honoring our friend Allen Hazelbaker. His widow, Sandee, children and grandchildren rode in the parade, and helped carry the flag at the end. Sandee commented how she could understand why the parade was so important to Allen. We will all miss him! It is spring, and time for our events pace to pick up. Please do your best to try to help out as much as possible. We have the Log Cabin Tour parking coming up in June. See Lion Don Stewart to volunteer to help park. We also have the Playhouse concession stand that needs volunteers. See Lion Vickie Gilmore to sign up for the first play. So, it looks like we are going to have another busy summer! Make sure you attend the May
dinner meeting, where we will meet some of our scholarship recipients. It makes
you feel good to see that our future is in good hands! I am looking forward to
also seeing all of you. Lion President Rick Dean |
