Camping and Golf - Spring is Here at Last!
Submitted by Lion Lona Lineham

What a beautiful day it was on Sunday, April 30th - the day the Lions opened the Lions Campgrounds in Black Diamond and Turner Valley. We still had too much snow in some of the locations in the south end of the campgrounds where our long term campers stay and a few could not get into their usual places. We already have 5 or 6 long term campers and the rest will be coming very soon. There wasn't much clean up work to do so we just had a fun gathering where "Top Chef" Lion Davis Whitehead, along with ''Sous Chef" Lion John LeBoutiller whipped up a mouth watering garlic shrimp and vegetable stir fry and Lion Willi Craciun showed us his well known Bar-B-Q skills with hamburgers and smokies. The Campgrounds are now officially opened!!

The Sheep River Health Trust Golf Tournament on July 21st, at the D'Arcy Ranch golf Course was given $2500. Four Lion golfers will be playing in it. Come on boys - make us proud.

The STARS and Lions Golf Classic Tournament, to be held at the Lynx Ridge Golf Course on June 2nd, received $900. Four of our Lion members will also be playing in the tournament.

Our Foothills Lions Club donated $5000 to the Lions Clubs in Japan to help their people.

We were ever so pleased with the crowd we had at the last Lions Bingo on April 29th. Thank you to all the players that came out to help support this game. The next Lions Bingo will be held at the Valley Neighbour Club on Friday, May 13th, 6:30pm. This will be the 4th last game of the season.
