From The Lions Den

Submitted by Lion Lona Lineham

As I am writing this article we are having a beautiful "Christmas Eve-like snowfall"; it is slowly coming down in big fluffy flakes which are clinging to the branches of the evergreen trees. Too bad because it is about 250 days before Christmas again.

I would like to welcome our new slate of Lions Club executives for September:
President - Lion Davis Whitehead
1st Vice President - Lion James Lee
2nd Vice President - Lion Tyler Bray
Secretary -Lion Charlotte Martens
Treasurer - Lion Anne Granberg
1 year Directors - Lion Caryl Ricks & Lion Garry Raab
2 year Directors - Lion Diane Bray & Lion Barry Crane

In last week's Gazette, a name was left off the list of merchants who donated to the Lions silent auction. We are very sorry and would like to THANK Ben's Thrift Shop for their donation.

Education Plus received their annual $500.00 for a Scholarship. They also received $2000.00 to support their field trips, first aid courses and other projects.

The Foothills Lions Club have donated $1900.00 to the Griffith Memorial Center for a defibrillator to have in their center.

The High Country Senior Concert Band and Jazz Band received $1000.00 to use towards a trip to compete in the Music Festival in Kelowna. We certainly wish them well.

Five more evenings of Lion's Bingo left. The next Lions Bingo will be held at the Valley Neighbours Club on Friday, April 29th at 6:30pm. Hope to see you all there.
