Chairmanships open The Club has a number of leadership opportunities open for members, young and old. The position of chair of the Abe Martin Picnic/Outhouse Race, September 19, is open. All other positions for the even are open, we just need someone to oversee the entire Lion effort. The fall Pancake Breakfast is in need of a chairman. Most volunteer slots have been filled, so this would be a fairly easy and limited commitment to anyone who wants to give it a try, and be done by the middle of October. The pancake breakfast is October 10. We need a Fireworks Chairman to oversee the organization of the July 3, 2010 celebration of the 4th of July. Committee members are needed to assist Lion Jerry Simo in planning and executing pre-fireworks festivities, games and ceremonies. If you are interested in joining the Lion Leadership, these are some great opportunities to put on great Lion events. Contact Lion President Bob Gilmore if you are drawn to any of these positions!
Four new Lions inducted Four new Lions will be inducted into the pride at the next dinner meeting. Nashville United Methodist Church Pastors Fred and Peggy Haywood and Harry and Jeanne Turner will be finishing up their inductions into Lionism. All four are mighty friendly folks. Make sure you meet them and welcome them warmly into our Club.
Dinner meeting to feature Leonard Murray Lenoard Murray, coordinator of the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will present the program at the next dinner meeting, September 15, 6:30pm, at the Parkview Nazarene Church.
Lion benches to be replaced Lions Charley Placke and Ray Laffin are working on replacing the Courthouse bench, damaged by a tree branch and to replace the bench on the porch of McDonald’s Shopworth in Bean Blossom.

From Lion President Bob Congratulations to our 4 new members! With Lion Jerry Simo's help and guidance, I'm sure they will be well directed. Looking forward, the last play is coming up and I am sure that Lion Earl Eversoll will need your help to fill some spots at the Brown County Playhouse. Call Lion Earl at 988-6227 to volunteer. On October 3rd, we have the Pancake Breakfast scheduled. We still need a chairman for the breakfast. If you are interested, please call me. A quick reminder, if you have not already done so, please remit your dues as soon as possible so we can clear our books. After the Pancake Breakfast, our next project will be the Fruit Sale, and you will hear more about this in the future. The Lion Vision Screening project has several dates scheduled for September. Previously trained volunteers are needed. For more information, contact Lion Chair Gene Niednagel at 988-6865. |
