Bowling was Fun!
Fellow Lions,
A club that plays together stays together. It’s not just the social aspect of Lionism that’s important. It has a lot to do with having a common goal to give to others. I know there was an embarrassing amount of gifts under our Christmas tree this year. But it’s not the same spirit of giving that you feel when handing the victims of a house fire a check, giving a deserving student a scholarship, or donating money for a community project. I encourage you to attend our Jan. 2, 2007 Board meeting. We plan to hold it in the new building at Schneider Field. Wear a pair of jeans because it will be dusty. There are no restroom facilities so plan accordingly. Come and see what our influence, hard work, and funds have been used for.
Lion S. Burkhalter ordered a Lions International Sign several months ago, I have often thought about getting the ladder out and hanging it on the front of the building. The thought of doing that alone or with only one other person helping to get it centered just didn’t seem right. It needs to be a bit more symbolic than that. I’ve been called a dreamer, and for that reason I still pinch myself to make sure I’m awake when I see our new home as a work in progress.

Happy New Year, welcome to 2007, ready or not here it comes, kinda like your tax bill. The vision of the Lannon Lions, with the help of some fine people in the community, will make the Community Center-Concession Stand a reality for this year’s baseball season. The project has taken a little longer to complete than we originally thought, but when you see it, you will realize that it was worth the wait. Another goal would be to increase our membership by two or three to help fill the room up.
Good health to all of you in 2007, especially Lion Jim Reimer who has been hospitalized recently. Thanks for all of your help in 2006! (Lion Ernst you may want to see someone about that bowling elbow, before they kick you off your team!)
Yours in Lionism,
Lion President Jim Doro
RE:MARK
I spend way too much time with Lion Ehley’s wife, La Vern, so I did not get the member profile or committee and officer survey finished. Darlene, you are a Saint (or just crazy)
