The Foothills Lions Club is proud to announce Lion Bob Griffin has been awarded the "MELVIN JONES FELLOWSHIP”. It was established as the highest form of recognition to acknowledge an individual's dedication to humanitarian service. It is an honour, not an award. It was established in 1973 and takes it's name from the founder of Lions Club International.
Lion Bob Griffin has been a dedicated member of numerous Lion Clubs for 34 years. He has served as President (for 3 different clubs), Secretary, Director, Tail Twister, Lion Tamer, Zone Chairman and has been on many committees. His pet project is "Dog Guides of Canada" and serves on a committee which raises money, each year, for this project. Congratulations Lion Bob!!
Foothills Lions gave $1800.00 to 36 students of Oilfield High School and district for an International, educational, trip to Costa Rica. I am sure they will have a great learning experience.
The Dog Guides of Canada received $2000.00 from the Foothills Lions Club. They have just added dog guides for those with Autism.
In 1925 - Helen Keller attended the Lions Club International Convention and challenged the Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness". To date, we have sent out 3,000,000 eye glasses, world wide, helping those with vision problems.
On our September 21st meeting we inducted 3 new members into our Lions Club - Nancy Bullock, Garry Raab and Caryl Ricks. We welcome you to the Foothills Lions Club!!
The next Lions Bingo will be held - Friday, October 8th, 6:30 pm at the Valley Neighbours Club. We desperately need more Bingo players. Let's get everyone out to this evening of fun.
