Happy May!
Spring is finally here and Lions are in full bloom. We only have one more meeting at “Home” on May 6 then we go into “summer” mode. Our speaker on Tuesday is the executive director of Camp Merrick, so please try to attend.
Next week we also have our White Cane Days. If everyone signs up for one, 2 hour shift we won’t need Lions to do extra shifts. The weather should be perfect for standing outside and spreading the word of Lionism plus performing one of our biggest fund raisers.
Some of our members will be attending the District 22 C convention in Ocean City on May 12- 14; they are Mary France, Marcia, Warren & Joy. Hopefully they will have a good time and come back full of Lion news to share with us.
** Because several board members will be out of town on May 13 I am rescheduling the board meeting to May 27.
Our next meeting is our annual Youth Night at Damascus United Methodist Church. It is usually a fun night with entertainment and good food so bring your spouse and come see what our youth are doing around the community.
Our next District event will be officer training on May 17 – if you are an incoming officer, mark your calendar!
Our committees look pretty well staffed however I will continue to bring my committee signup sheets to the next few meetings so feel free to put your name down for many committees. We still need to find a chair person for Blood Drives, Highway Cleanup and Publicity.
Our Golf Tournament is June 2. See Lion Bob Snapp to help out.
As we are heading in to “summer” mode don’t forget about Lions. There are plenty of Lion activities to keep us busy. And remember to keep your fellow Lions in your thoughts and prayers. If you haven’t seen a member at a meeting in a while, give them a call. One of the best parts about being a Lion is fellowship. So please Appreciate, Believe in and Care for your Lion family.
Take Care!
