On Friday Nov 27, 2015 the Lions club of Damascus continued a 25 year tradition by hanging the Christmas wreaths on the lamp posts throughout Damascus. Nine lions and four friends of Lions gathered at the Damascus Tom and Ray’s at 9am on Friday morning and after a hearty breakfast donated by Lion Gary Bellison of Tom and Rays and a brief “how to” clinic given by Lion Tony Barry, they split up into 4 teams and began hanging the wreaths.
The hard work of Lions Del Mayhew, Warren Schwab, Tony Barry, Bob Snapp, Chris Fletcher, Ray Molesworth, Joe Howerton and King Lion Barbara made short work of the 40 lamp posts and the team had completed the project by 11:00am. The friends of the Lions who helped were John Barry, Ryan Muse, CJ Muise and Nick Doan.
A special word of thanks to Lion Charlie Hertel who loaned his three step ladders to the Lions club for the execution of the project. Thanks also to Lion Gary Bellison of Tom & Rays who donated breakfast to all who helped hang the wreaths.
