Flea Market Fund Raiser

July 14, 2009 By Leave a Comment

We had a beautiful day for the Damascus Lions Club Flea Market Fund Raiser and attendance was good despite our new location this year.  I wish to thank IPP Eloise and Lion Tucky Woodfield for their help in attending meetings in connection with the Celebrate Damascus Days; their help in setting up the vendor spots on Friday and their help before the event.

 I wish to thank KL Mary Frances for her help setting up the vendor spots on Friday and her assistance all day Saturday during the event.

I also wish to thank the following Lions for their assistance in getting up early Saturday morning and to the commuter parking lot to assist vendors signing in and locating their spots and in directing them to the vendor parking:

Secretary Ken Phillips, Lion Tony Barry, Lion Wayne Marr, Lion Mike Thornett, Lion Tom Jackson, Lion Warren Schwab.

 For those Lions that helped man the Gazebo and handing out membership information and answering questions and for helping clean the grounds afterwards:

KL Mary Frances Gosnell, Lion Joy Schwab, Lion Midge Tench, Lion Ann Davis, Lion Gary Rogers, Lion Barbara Barry, Lion Charlie Stone, Lion Carol Stone, Lion Lee Sellers, Lion Bill Mahylis and a  brief appearance by Lion Jennifer Warfield.

 Also I wish to thank those Lions that where unable to attend and those that did attend that made money contributions to help make the Flea Market Fund Raiser a success this year.
Special thanks goes to the Clarksburg Branch of the Damascus Lions Club for their donation of the Portable Potty at the Flea Market

President's Message – July 09

July 10, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Welcome to summer, when the living is easy!!!

If you look at the Damascus Lions July schedule, the “when the living is easy” just got to be the opposite.

We are a very active club, doing many activities, yet we never seem to tire of serving.  And that makes us all “everyday heroes” and proud of our association with such a great organization, The Lions Club.
Thanks to all of the Lions who have accepted to serve on the Board of Directors for the coming year!  And Thanks to all the Lions who have stepped up to serve as a Chairman of a Committee, Activity or Fund Raiser.

It will take the whole club to make our jobs, our leadership and our service successful.  I look forward to working with all of you.
Please take note that the July 7 Dinner Meeting is at the Damascus UM Church, while the Board of Directors will meet on July 21 at the Recreation Center.  The Lions Night Out at the Keys Game on July 14 will take place of our second dinner meeting in July.

  • Elsewhere in this Lions Tale issue, you will find information on the upcoming events.
  • Lion Sue Suddath can use some help with the Senior Birthday Party, July 10 at 12:30 pm.
  • We need Lions to walk/ride in the Celebrate Damascus Parade July 10, 6:30 Pm and to help decorate the float earlier in the day.
  • Have you reserved your space at the Flea Market for the Celebrate Damascus Lions Flea Market?  Lion Jerry will even accept donations if you are unable to utilize one of her spaces.
  • Lions Night Out at the Keys Game July 14 – Have you got your tickets?  This is your chance to get one of those Ballpark Hot Doggies!

I wish all of you a safe and enjoyable 4th of July.  Also may your vacation be a great one as well.
Happy and Safe Traveling!
King Lion Mary Frances
