FEBRUARY  2004 NEWSLETTER


Message from your  club President

January 2004

Greetings:

I hope everyone had a Good Christmas & New Years holiday. It sure goes by in a
rush.

We had a great joint meeting January 8th at the Elks with the other three Lions
clubs. Maureen Gorman put on a wonderful presentation on screening newborns
for hearing problems. Hopefully all four clubs can work on getting some money for
this important screening tool.

Our next meeting is January 26th. We will be having a board meeting at 6:30,
regular meeting at 7:00. Midwinter is on January 30 through February 1st. Please
plan on attending if you can. It is a fun & informative time getting together with our
fellow Lions from throughout the district.

See You January 26th

Lion Jenny
