WINONA  RIVERTOWN  LIONS  CLUB

JULY  2004 NEWSLETTER

HELLO LIONS:

            How's your summer going? I hope you've been able to get out and participate in some of
the local celebrations or spend some quality time with your family and friends. I had a chance to
attend my cousins wedding over the Fourth of July in Watertown,WI. So we got to see lots of
relatives-some that we have not seen for years-so that was fun.
            Again, I want to welcome all the new Board Members. I'm looking forward to working with
you this next year.
            Lion Arlene had me sign a " gambling form" July 7th - so our raffle tickets should be
coming soon. SELL-SELL-SELL. Our annual July Potluck Picnic (meal at 6:30p.m.) will be held
at Lion Ginny Motl's home on Monday July 26. Both the Board and Regular meeting on the same
evening. Come and enjoy all the delicious food, SURPRIZES and weather permitting maybe
even a pontoon boat ride. Lion Arlene has also been busy arranging for a dynamic motivational
speaker for our August 23rd meeting. I hope everyone's able to attend these fun events-if you
need a ride please call me at 687-3310.
            Our  next Lions newsletter will be in September because our news editors Mel and Mary
will be spending the next month in Canada and Alaska.We wish you lots of good luck, fun and
enjoyment. We will all look forward to seeing your beautiful pictures.
            I will have the 2004-05 Committee sign-up sheet at our picnic - be thinking about what
projects you would like to work on.

            Yours in LIONISM,
            Sandy Lubinski
