It was a rainy morning for us again on Tuesday August 13th 2013. But remember it is senior day at the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair and they were not going to miss out on all the freebees.
The Damascus Lions that came to help really stepped up and did a great job. I can’t thank them enough for making it all work out. The Leo’s clubs and partners in service did awesome even when their wrists were hurting they kept on dipping. Everyone did an outstanding job. We all worked very, very hard. We had over 60 volunteers who worked over 250 hours. I would like to thank Lion Gary Rogers from the Damascus Club. He ran the Ice Cream Parlor again this year in the morning. He did a great job.
There are a few other people I would like to Thank for making the Ice Cream Dipping go smoothly: Lions Tony and Barbara Barry for stocking the freezers on Wednesday night;Lion Christine Fletcher and Lion Barbara Devine for working the cash registers all day long. Lion Barbara also helped Lion Tammy with the Leo’s and behind the counter dipping. I would like to personally thank all the Lions that came out and helped. If I didn’t mention your name we still appreciated all your help. Thank you Jonathon, the past Leo president, for helping.
It was a record year again. The clubs combined collected over $75,000 and we collected over $8,000 on our day. It is estimated that our Lions Club will bring in somewhere around $2,400.00 for our single day at the fair. What a great job we all did!!! Thank you.
Mark on your calendars for Tuesday August 12, 2014, next year’s Ice Cream Dipping. See you there!!
