Did you eat enough ice cream? If you did not, you should have had Lion Charlie Holpuch dip a cone for you!!!!
What a great year it was dipping ice cream at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair on Tuesday August 18, 2009. The Damascus Lions Club along with the Damascus High School Leos and the Baker and Rocky Hill Middle School Leos and all other partners in service did an outstanding job.
Lion Gary from Damascus and Lion Gerda from Laytonsville, who run the ice cream parlor during the week, found themselves on Tuesday with a lot of spare time on their hands again because we do such a terrific job. Tuesday was Senior Day at the fair and Damascus sold approximately $7,000.00 worth of ice cream. I would like to thank Lion Gary Rogers for all he did this year for running the ice cream parlor for the entire week.
A special thanks to Lion Barbara And Lion Tony for coming in on Thursday with me before the fair started and stocking all the ice cream into the bins and doing a final cleaning. I would like to thank my family who is always involved in our club activities for their support. I would also like to thank Lions Leslie Poole and Barbara Barry for the Leos’ support. Without them this would not have been a great success. Our Damascus Lions Club members turned out in great numbers to show support this year and I would like to thank all of them. Special thanks to King Lion Mary Francis Gosnell for the information board we set up to advertise our club to the public. We had over 60 people come in and work in the ice cream booth that day. There were approximately 325 man hours spent running the ice cream parlor. What a great job we all did.
Thank you for your continued support. I will be able to report some earnings for the club within the next two weeks or so.
