On Friday Nov 24, the Lions club of Damascus continued a 26 year tradition by hanging the Christmas wreaths on the lamp posts throughout Damascus.
Six lions and four friends of Lions gathered at the Damascus McDonalds at 9am on Friday morning and after 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, Tony Barry, Ray Molesworth, Bob Snapp, Wayne Marr, Jack Peters and Joe Howerton made short work of the 40 lamp posts and the team had completed the project by 10:00am. 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.
The Lions will take the Christmas wreaths down in early January.
