Zone
Meeting
Lion Kingsley chaired a meeting of clubs in
Region 2 - Zone II of District 24-C (our region and zone) on 11/14. Present were PDG (Past District Governor) Don
Colley and his wife Bert plus attendees from the Scottsville Lions,
Charlottesville Host Lions, Charlottesville Lionesses, Thomas Jefferson Lions
and seven members of our own club who remained following our regular meeting
that night. It's always interesting to
hear what other clubs are doing and learn about events within the District. Please see Lion Kingsley if you have interest
in attending a future zone meeting.
Open
Positions
Thanks to the following Lions for stepping up
to take responsibility for: White
Cane - Lion Ron; Brooms - Lion Ken - (with storage help from Lion
Dave). Still needed is a member to take
charge of the LOV (Lions of Virginia) raffle - a grand prize of $10,000 ($1.
per raffle). This is a once per year
activity with the winner chosen each May.
Takes minimum time and costs the club nothing. Any and all raffles not sold may be returned
without penalty. Lion Tamer -
Lion Mike took over this job when Lion Chris became Treasurer. Unfortunately, he can no longer physically
handle the duties which involve seeing that our club banner, flag, etc., are in
place for meetings. Please see Lion
President Dave to volunteer your services for the above. Thanks!
Diabetes
Awareness
Lion George Bland reported Lion Marcia, 24-C
Chair for this program, took part in the UN Walk for Diabetes in NYC. Lion Marcia told how moving this event
was. We look forward to seeing her in a
special photo taken of all 246 attendees in a circle, representing the 246
million individuals worldwide afflicted with this disease. Well Done Lion
Marcia for all your efforts concerning Diabetes!
Miscellaneous
- Lion George Burnett announced drawing for the
special 50/50 raffle will be done at the December 12 meeting.
- Lion Marjorie received unanimous approval
from membership to spend $100 for Pop Tarts to be included in the
Thanksgiving bags given out at Central Elementary.
- Lion Marcia thanked members and the LM
community for contributing linens, etc., to the San Diego Downtown Lions,
victims of recent devastating fires. She
noted the Salvation Army at Airport Road in Charlottesville assisted with
shipment of donations. The Rivanna
Lions, thanks to Lion Marcia, was the first to help in a club-to-club way!
- Many thanks to those members who brought
non-perishable foods to our 11/14 meeting for Thanksgiving distribution by the
MACAA food pantry!
50/50
Lion Sara won $51 on 11/14 and Lion Tom won $14
on 11/28. Neither picked the Ace of
Spades and so the dollars keep building.
Bits & Pieces:
This is an area where news about members and
families is posted. You need not wait
until your great-grandchild is elected to Congress to have something
published. Email me, call, pass a note,
whatever. Just let me know. Thanks.
Congratulations Lion Wayne for 18 years of
service to Lionism!
