President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Lion President Jack Edwards

     First of all, thanks to all of you who made the December Crab Feed successful. It is one of our major fundraisers each year, and although we had smaller numbers of guests than last year, we still had a successful event. Special thanks to 1st VP Sharon for stepping up and managing her first crab feed. Also thanks to the crew who handled the pancake breakfast on Saturday the 10th. Lion Don and crew did a great job at our Family Christmas Dinner on the 12th. Also, thanks to Lion Brad for being Santa for the kids. Last of all, Merry Christmas to Lion Joe and his crew who handled the traffic control for the Food Bank’s Christmas Box Drive Thru at the Creekside Church on the 19th.

     As we start the new year, we have our first meeting of the year on the 9th, followed by serving breakfast at the Senior Center on the 14th of January.  Our board meeting is on the 16th and the final meeting of the month is on the 23rd. All of the meetings will be at the Senior Center.

      I hope to see all of you at our upcoming activities.
