Greetings Damascus Lions!
As spring starts the Lions come out of hibernation and move into another busy year. First we start off with our new slate of officers. Hey maybe it’s time YOU served on the board ! Also now is a good time to think about what committees you would like to be on for next year. Let Lions Joy, Marcia or Mary Frances know if you are interested in holding an office next year or wish to be on a committee.
The second meeting of the month is our in house auction on March 15. This is a great time to do a little spring cleaning and donate anything you no longer want or need. Maybe you would like to do a little cooking instead. Homemade goodies (cakes, pies, cookies, candy, jams & jellies) all bring in the big bucks at our auction. Perhaps you’d rather just visit your favorite “spirits” store. Those spirited gifts probably sell the best. Don’t forget we love to buy tickets to sporting events, weekends at the beach, limo services, the use of a truck, etc. See Lion Marcia with your list of donations. Besides dues, this is the only income for the club administrative account. We appreciate your support.
On March 19 we have our pancake breakfast. Most of us typically participate in this big fundraiser. We have our favorite task and we all do it well. Lion Joy will definitely need help during the week preparing for this event. See Lion Joy if you can help out. Also don’t forget to sell Pancake Breakfast tickets and to tell your friends and neighbors to attend. We always serve the best food. I love the potatoes!
Maybe now that it is warming up we will see more Lions at our meetings. Remember to contact those we don’t see often and remind them of our events and perhaps offer them a ride to a meeting. I’m sure some of them would appreciate a card or a visit or even a home cooked meal. As always remember to Appreciate, Believe in and Care for your fellow Lions.
Happy March!
