Greetings Damascus Lions!
We went from the wettest May straight into summer. Even though the Damascus Lions move into “summer mode” (sporadic meetings not at our regular location) don’t forget we have plenty of activities to do. We “putt” right into June with our annual Golf Tournament at Glade Valley Golf Club in Walkersville. This continues to be one of our biggest fund raisers. Please show up and support Lions Bob Snapp, Charlie Hertel and Mike Thornett with this event. Our Picnic will be Tuesday June 7 at the pavilion at Damascus United Methodist Church. Bring a dish, or two, to share. Then we have our annual Installation Night on June 21 at the Montgomery Country Club in Laytonsville. Feel free to bring a guest and please get your dinner reservations into Lion Bob Snapp soon.
July is also a busy month as we prepare for Damascus Days on July 8 & 9, 2 days of events throughout Damascus. Many Lions and other community organizations parade through town on Friday July 8. Publicity is the main goal of Damascus Days and we really need to spread some Lion Pride! Saturday July 9 we have two events at the same time, our Pancake Breakfast and our Flea Market. So there is plenty to do during Damascus Days. In July the Damascus Lions usually have our social event at a Key’s Game – stay tuned for details.
In August our Ice Cream dipping event replaces one meeting. We really need to have many Lions present at this event. Even if you feel you can not scoop ice cream, we can use your help in many other ways. This is another event where it is important to make our presence in the community known. Summer is a great time to focus on recruiting new members to our club.
Please think of our fellow Lions even when we are not at a Lion event. Remember, we are like your second family. I’m sure some of them would appreciate a call or an invite to a meeting or event. As always remember to Appreciate, Believe in and Care for your fellow Lions.
Happy Summer!
