Lannon Lines September 2006
The Last Holiday
Of Summer 2006
And the Last Packer
Pre-season Game YIKES!
Fellow Lions,
It’s hard to believe that we are two months into the new Lion year. The Budget Committee met and put together a slimmed down version of 2006-2007. The profits were not what we have come to expect from the Beef & Bird Tent, it was bound to happen sooner or later. A few frustrating things took place and I’m sure that the heat made them seem worse. Lion Pritzlaff and I did poorly with the rib sandwiches. Thanks to Perks for “holding the bag” while we sold off excess product, a small profit will be made. (Less than $100.00) But believe me, if you were not in this Club in the early 80’s you know NOTHING about hard times. Olde Quarry Days nearly broke the Lannon Lions. Fortunately our current Village President is generous. His contributions have become our second best fund-raiser. Speaking of raising money, the Entertainment Books have arrived. I don’t know how many we were shipped. I will bring a few boxes to the Board Meeting. Every year we discuss giving up this project. For the new members that sell them, it is $500-$600 we wouldn’t have.
A brief park building update, we have likely lost one of our major cement donors. Their construction project has run into a few costly snags. We are looking at taking a different approach. Hopefully a concrete answer will be available by the meeting night HA HA.

Boy, that was a fast HOT summer. We finished our two big fund raisers and we can relax a little bit. Now is the time to bring in new members so we do not have to work to hard next year. So…just ask someone if they would like to be a Lannon Lion! Thanks for all of the help last summer. We had a great night for our mini-golf outing. Thank you, Lion Jim and Cindy Pritzlaff for catering. I hope to see you at the Monday, September 11, 2006 Board meeting at the park.
Yours in Lionism,
Lion President Jim Doro
