PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (January 7th)

Fellow Lions, as you are out there drumming up new members to attend our meeting on Jan. 21st, you may be asked what do the CF Lion's do for Cedar Falls. Beside all of the good work that is done through out the year with our members who volunteer to do eye testing, road cleanup or picking up used glasses we just voted last month to support the Emergency Bucket project for the CF Schools. This will be up to 400 buckets filled with needed supplies if there is any emergency in any of the classrooms. Our commitment for this project is $7,500.00 Thanks to every member for having a great club, that we can be very proud of!

We Serve ……… Mark Miller

THANK YOU

To the Cedar Falls Lions Club:

“The holidays just wouldn’t have been the same without the Cedar Falls Lions Club thoughtfulness to St Patrick's Grade School. I can’t thank you enough for your help in having one of my wish list items become a reality. For the past three years I've tried to set aside some monies for the very project the Cedar Falls Lions are sponsoring. I almost jumped through the phone when informing CF School Nurse Sue Gettman that St. Patrick’s Grade School would love and use 20 such emergency tubs! When the tubs arrive, I'll have students send a big "thank you" note to the CF Lions Club! Again Thank You. Sister Marilou Irons, Principal, St. Patrick’s Grade School."

DID YOU KNOW

▪ January the 1st was established as the first day of the year by Julius Caesar in 46 B.C.. New Year's is the oldest holiday celebration in existence, although the Babylonians celebrated it (4,000 years ago) in March instead of January.

IT'S GREAT TO BE A LION!
