My
Fellow Lions,
This is my last newsletter! As new president, Lion Diane Barrett
will be using this space beginning in July. Let me take this opportunity
to thank all of you for your hard work and support this past year.
Overall, I think we've had a pretty good year in spite of a few
bumps in the road! First time ever that our golf tournament was
rained out, but we've been rescheduled for July 12th. Hopefully,
the weather will be nice and we'll have another great tournament!
The month of May was a busy one. Lion Helen, Lion Jeannette and
I attended the zone social. We had a really nice meal and awards
were presented. Our awards are given at different times than the
other clubs. Therefore, I read a list of our winners. We are particularly
proud of the fact that we had two Jack Stickley recipients this
year and one Melvin Jones. Every club member has an opportunity
to win. If you want to know the criteria, just contact the secretary
or president.
Lion Jeannette, Lion Ron Henson, Lion Tom Carlson and I also had
the pleasure of going to the Rutherford DAV and having dinner
with their group. We presented them a check for $1,000 to help
with the needs of disabled vets in Rutherford County. There is
a great need here and they were deeply grateful. A nicer group
of people you'll never meet! This is a great example of our club
making a difference in the lives of people who need and deserve
our help.
I am also proud to report that our Board approved three scholarships
in the amount of $1,000 each to be awarded in June. All three
recipients are great students and it is gratifying to be able
to help with their education.
If you missed the last club meeting, you really missed a treat!
Lion Ron Henson planned a "cookout" and membership drive.
He barbecued wonderful ribs and chicken! We had seven guests attend
and Lions Terrell and Ron Supinger gave short presentations letting
them know what Lions International and our club in particular
do to help those in need. It was a great social event and we all
had a really good time. A great way to let others in the community
know what our club is all about. Thanks, Lion Ron, for a job well
done. Hopefully, we'll get seven new members as a result. We really
enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone.
Last, but not least, we had our White Cane drive this past Memorial
Day weekend. Unfortunately, we got rained out on Monday. Those
who worked Saturday and Sunday were able to sell a lot of brooms
and take in good donations. This allowed our club to meet White
Cane goals for the year.
Again, thanks to all of you for your hard work this past year.
Every member has a contribution to make. I know you'll continue
to strive for bigger and better things. I look forward to this
next year and to working with our new President.
Yours in Lionism,
Diane
