Health and Fitness Expo – Help Needed

January 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The upcoming NBC4 Fitness Expo will be held at the Washington Convention Center.  Our club has signed up for a shift on Saturday, Jan. 16th from 9-11:30am.  We need about 10 people to fully cover the shift.  So far seven people have signed up, not counting Lions Tony and Barbara Berry – Lion Tony will be wearing the Lion’s costume and Lion Barbara will be walking around with him, so they really don’t count for helping with the screenings.   So we still need a few members to volunteer to help with the Vision and Hearing and Preschool Screening. 
 We will meet at the High School parking lot right across from Weis at 7:15-7:30am to car pool down to the Shady Grove Metro Station get on Metro around 8:00am to arrive at the Convention Center for our 9:00am shift.

Damascus Heritage Day

September 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment

The Damascus Lions Club participated in the 2nd Annual Damascus Heritage Day that was held on Sunday, Sept. 20, 2009.

The weather was beautiful, the various vendors delightful, the Turkey Shoot interesting, the music provided by local musicians was wonderful and loud, and the Lions that participated had a great time. 

 I wish to thank Lion Tuck Woodfield for his assistance in setting up the tent for the Lion’s display.  I wish to thank Lions Marcia Holpuch; who should be recognized for being the “Greenest Lion” there by peddling her bike to the event, Lion Ann Davis, Lion Frank Burlas, Lion Joy Schwab and Lion Tom Jackson for their help and assistance with the Lions’ booth.  We had several people inquire into our service activities where upon we supplied brochures and membership information.  The “Golden Lion Star” goes to Lion Ann Davis for her efforts in selling our “Papa John Fundraiser Cards”; she sold 10 through out the day and she also sold tickets for the upcoming Basket/Pottery Bingo.   Well done Lion Ann!  And I wish to thank KL Mary Frances and Lion Joy for putting together the information sheets and posters that were displayed in our booth.  It looked great.  I must add that a good time was had by all! 

Thanks again for those that came out and hung out and worked at the Lions Booth.

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

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.
