Christmas Lighted Parade 2008

Lions, Its not to early to begin thinking about this. Lion Karen thought it might be a good idea for us to participate in the Kiwanis Club's Lighted Christmas Parade this year. It will be held on December 6th. Lion Karen has lots of great ideas for our float. Be prepared to talk about this at the next couple of meetings. It will be really good for us to get LIONS out there for everyone to see. The theme of the parade is "Christmas is __________." Please start to brain storm and we will discuss it soon. I have the application and all the information/rules/regulations.--LS David

Aluminum Cans

Lions, please bring your saved Aluminum Cans to the next Lions meeting on Oct. 14th. Please crush them if you can. If not, don't worry about it.--LS David

Thank You!!

Thank You to all who helped at our Pancake Breakfast yesterday morning! We did very well. The crowd was small, but we had fun and raised some money to help out our community as much as we can! Special thanks to Guiding Lions Phil and Anna from De Noche Lions in Las Cruces for coming down and supporting us! We really appreciate your help! Also, of course, a special thanks to all who showed up to eat! We hope everyone enjoyed the food. It was made with lots of love. I hope to see everyone at our next meeting on October 14th. Photos from the breakfast will be posted within the next few days. Check back to see some of them! Deming Wildcats Lions SERVE proudly!-- Lion Secretary David

September 23 Meeting

Lions!
If you didn't make it to our last meeting, you missed a good (and short) one! First, we celebrated Lion Virginia's birthday--everyone sang and it was scary! Then we had a winner take all money raffle--Lion Dina won! (even though she was late!) Lion Toby provided a prize for a club raffle. It was a nice fleece blanket, two fall mugs, and a box of coco in a basket. Congrats to Lion Nancy for winning that! We approved payment of a pair of glasses and an eye exam for a young child who cannot afford them. Our club is proud to help him out. Everything is set for our breakfast this Sunday! Lions Toby, David, and Karen will be selling tickets at K-Mart this Saturday from 8:00am -12:00 noon. Here is one item of note, all Lions that attend the next meeting are required to wear a funny hat. The hat must be worn the whole meeting (except during the Pledge of Allegience) or Lion Tail Twister Nancy will fine that Lion $2.00!! However, regular Baseball caps are not a valid "funny hat". Also, if you don't wear it the whole meeting, the fine will still be imposed! So, pull out those "funny" hats that you all bought at the Duckraces, that hat you thought was a great buy when you were on vacation, or dad's hat that has been in the attick for years! This is your chance to show it off!
Our next meeting will be October 14 at 6:30. Please don't be late. It will be a by-laws approval meeting. See you then!--
Lion Secretary David
