Historic Evening Club Meeting... by President Bruce

What a great evening - nice atmosphere, great food, a good program and wonderful fellowship! A very nice turnout for our first-ever evening meal and meeting at Peaky’s Restaurant, at the top of the Fenwick Inn. At least 41 Lions and guests showed up! Among the guests were PDG Bob Jones and his wife, DG Cheryl Jones. Pictured is Justin Schwab, owner of Peaky’s being inducted as our newest member by District Governor Cheryl Jones… as his sponsor, Cal Hook looks on.

Also, PDG Bob Jones presented a video about “Leader Dog.” which has been in existence for seventy-five years. The present facility is in need of renovations. This will be a fourteen and one half million dollar project. Lions clubs that are interested in supporting this project can pledge an amount for a period of five years. Among other things... Lion Fran had tickets for the “Pot of Gold” fund raiser for the Youth. Tickets are due back on May 1st and Lion Bob Hensler thanked KL Bruce for the monetary donation for the purchase of a printer/scanner for his wife’s relative who is blind. In closing, KL Bruce thanked everyone who kept the club going while he and Sharon were away for the winter and he also especially thanked PDG Bob and DG Cheryl for attending the meeting and helping us out.
