WINONA RIVERTOWN LIONS CLUB
OCTOBER 2005 NEWSLETTER
Calendar of events
FROM BEHIND THE GAVEL . . . .
When the Rivertown Lions October edition of the newsletter
is printed, the Fall 2005 Breadbowl Soup Supper will be a part of history,
and a successful event it was. A word of appreciation is given to
everyone who assisted in ensuring that the project was planned and presented
well.
The November Zone Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, November
22 at the Elks Club. Rivertown Lions Club will host this event with Kathy
McGuire serving as Project Chairperson. I invite all of you, and
each of you, to attend and participate in this meeting as it provides not
only an opportunity to meet Lions from clubs in the area, but also learn
more about what others are doing in the spirit of Lionism. As Martha
would say “It’s a good thing.”
November is also the month for the District Governor
to visit. A potluck meal will be a part of the meeting, and, once
again this will be an opportunity to not only enjoy others’ culinary expertise,
but gain insight into
what Lions can do and do to continue the tradition of
serving their communities.
While Dorothy Tomten is on the road to recovery, I will
be the temporary contact person for the Joys and Concerns service.
Call me at 454-2227 if you know of a fellow Rivertown Lions Club member
who has a special occasion in her life and would appreciate a message from
the club.
Thanks everyone for your efforts in whatever you do to
promote the Lions spirit.
