PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (May 19th)

 

Fellow Lions, at last weeks board meeting we approved the request from NU High to purchase additional emergency buckets for their classrooms. Lion Hagarty has an Eagle scout candidate that will handle the project and we will have some good publicity for our club. It is great that we can support our community in this way. Thanks for all of your help with the Pancake sales and our other activities that keep us a strong club!

 

We Serve ……… Mark Miller
