Fall is certainly making up for the summer that we endured. Our three Campgrounds are being shut down on October 16th, all the Lions will be busy working that day - raking leaves and doing the fall clean-up necessary. This is always a fun day as it is followed by a Bar-B.Q. and fellowship. We have had another very successful year with all three campgrounds.
The Foothills Lions Club presented Renee Sikorski with $500 to put on a Halloween "Spook Night", for the kids, in the basement of the Turner Valley Legion, again this year. It will be held on October 28th, 29th and 30th.
The Sheep River Trust Fund wishes to purchase a new "Fun Bus" which is used for the Rising Sun Long Term Care facility to take clients out on day trips. The old "Fun Bus" is 11 years old and has certainly served its purpose. The Foothills Lions have donated $5,000.00 to this project which will enable the staff to more effectively and safely transport the residents in increased comfort. Getting out in the community to see changes, have an ice cream cone, going for meals at local restaurants or just to look at the beautiful scenery means so much and truly improves their quality of life for the Long Term Care facility clients.
The next Lions Bingo will be held Friday, October 29th, 6:30 pm, at the Valley Neighbours Club. We would like to see all the Bingo players there as it is a fun night.
