If you see a long, white Limo cruising through the streets of Turner Valley and Black Diamond on Thursday, July 21st, and wonder who the important people are that are riding in it ------ I will tell you. They ARE important people; they are 4 members of the Foothills Lions Club. They won the early bird draw (which was a free Limo ride to and from the event) for the 8th Annual "Golf 4 Wellness" Charity Golf Tournament. They also won the tournament last year. The tournament is sponsored by Sheep River Health Trust which is a charitable organization dedicated to raising funds to promote health and wellness in our rural communities. The Lions Club is proud to be a part of this charity.

In the late 1980's and early 1990's, Turner Valley was home to "Turner Valley Turners" - skipping competition and demonstration team. There is a new group of young people who have been skipping together for about 5 years and would like to move forward to the competitive level but are in need of better equipment to do this. The Foothills Lions Club donated $2,500 to help this club succeed.

Seventeen members of the Lions Club helped serve up hot dogs, smokies and hamburgers on Parade Day. We had a lot of fun and would like to THANK all who supported us that day. It was greatly appreciated.

The Lions Clubs of Canada gave the Slave Lake Lions Club $10,000 to help the people of their town in whatever way it was needed.

Where are the Bingo Players? --- The last Lions Bingo will be played on Friday, June 24th. It would be nice to see you all come out.
