From The Lions Den ~ Autumn Giving

Submitted by Lion Anne Granberg

The favourable autumn weather has allowed extending the Black Diamond Campground to remain open over the Thanksgiving long weekend. A great outing to wind-up the camping season.
With Halloween coming up, Foothills Lions Club have donated $500 towards the “Spook House” display, October 28th – 31st at the Turner Valley Legion. Should be a shrieking adventure for the youngsters.
The Longview ARC Society (arts, recreation and community) received a donation of $2500 from the Foothills Lions Club for their “Longview Xtreme Makeover” project. Up-grades will be built, made and done by volunteers to their playground, equipment for their sports facilities, skate rink area and other needed improvements.
Collector Fest was well attended at on-going basis throughout the day. Thank you to all the donors for the pins, cards, prizes and to the participants that exchanged, bought and browsed through the collections. It was encouraging to see some of the youth involved in the hobby.
On the International Lions Club level, the project that will be undertaken, is an aim to plant one million trees world-wide, within the next year! Trees are vital to our planet, improve our air, protect our water and save energy. It's an entirely achievable project, as is Sight First and Disaster Relief.
The support given by the Bingo players is much appreciated – see you October 14th at 6:30pm.
