Welcome to year 2011 - the year of the Rabbit. We have been so lucky with our weather considering what is happening all over the world.
The Foothills Lions Club will no longer be managing the Longview Campground. We will still continue managing Black Diamond and Turner Valley.
"The Longview Youth Group" has requested funding for various projects for the coming year. This organization is involving youth from Longview and the rural community in sports and activities to build character and develop integrity. This group is run by parents and adults who donate their time and often their resources. It is their desire to offer the youth an opportunity to experience some of the benefits larger communities have with their amenities. The Foothills Lions Club is proud to give this Organization $2,500.00.
"Oilfield High School Quest Program" - is an alternative learning program designed to engage youth in many facets of learning. The Quest Program challenges students to develop behaviours and attitudes to become healthy, productive citizens. The Foothills Lions Club donated $5,000.00 to this program.
Every year, since 1998, the Foothills Lions has donated a $1,000.00 Bursary to a deserving, graduated student from Oilfield High School. This year the ceremony will be at the High School on February 11th at 8:00 am.
We are very disappointed in the attendance we are getting at the Lions Bingo. Our next Bingo will be held at the Valley Neighbours Club on Friday, January 18th at 6:30 pm.
