Lion Larry Juncker has put together a Cashier signup sheet for next year as well as a sign up sheet for members to provide programs for the Non Board meeting Wednesdays of next year. The 3rd Wednesday of each month until further notice has been decided to be our Monthly Board Meeting days. It was felt that this would allow more members to attend and see what happens at a board meeting. Any member is always welcome at board meetings as well as business meetings.
Lion Jim Gill has offered to provide speakers for July, Lion Steve Rehmann lined up speakers for the second Wednesday of July, August and September. Lion Larry Juncker has lined up a speaker for the last meeting of August.

Special Guest Speaker this week

WHO ARE LIONS?
Lions are groups of service-minded men and women who are interested in improving their communities. To be a Lion is to be an active volunteer, a member of a respected international organization, a leader in the community and a friend to people in need.

The 1.4 million members that serve in over 45,000 clubs from over 200 countries make Lions Clubs International the worlds largest service club organization.

WHAT DO LIONS DO?
Lions move to make a difference locally and globally. Lions are best known for their efforts to eradicate preventable blindness, but also participate in many other kinds of projects, including assisting those in need, sponsoring international exchanges for young people, providing supplies to victims of natural disatsters and bringing clean drinking water to remote villages.

Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller and communities get better.

WHY JOIN A LIONS CLUB?
As a Lion, you will have the opportunity to help others, meet new people and use your talents to make a real impact. You will acquire new skills, meet challenges head-on, cultivate lasting friendships, grow personally and have fun at the same time.

KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN ANSWER YES TO THE FOLLOWING?

I'm adventurous.
When it comes to meeting challenges, the Lions response is simple: WE SERVE.

I'm a leader.
Lions Clubs International develops leaders. Lions leaders serve at every level of the organization and oversee everything from local membership to the organization's international direction.

I'm making a difference.
Lions see despair turned to hope when they impact the lives of the less fortunate, the hungry and sick, the homeless and abandoned.

Volunteering makes you feel appreciated and needed. It provides an opportunity to give back what has been given to you.

If you answered “YES” to the above questions, then click on Membership_Application here, help them fill out the Application and bring them and the application with you to one of our meetings on Wednesday at noon, so they can start making a difference!
