Holiday Fun!

Our club celebrated the holidays with a fantastic party at the Holiday Inn today. ALL LIONS from our club were in attendance!!!! Also, Zone Chairs LeRoy Rapp and Phil Marvel were there to celebrate with us. Our club wishes to thank them so much for all their support through out this year. We wish them a great holiday season!
Lion Karen Schalip was surprised with a very special award pin for her great leadership as chairwoman of the Light Parade Float. She was awarded a great pin in the shape of a western boot with the LIONS emblem on it. It was great to see the surprise on her face!
With all the games we played, music, food, company....I can truly say that our party was a great success and loads of Lion Fun!
Our next regular meeting will be on January 13, 2009! A great way to start the new year! See you all then!
Happy New Year!

The Light Parade was great!

The Deming Christmas Light Parade went off with out a hitch on December 6th. One of 30 floats that proved to be one of the best light parades Deming has ever seen! All Lions had a great time! Many thanks to Lion Karen Schalip for her chairmanship of this committee. There have been some small date changes, so please see the updated schedule on the previous posting!

December 2nd Meeting

On behalf of the club, we would like to extend a deep THANK YOU to Lion Toby and his family for allowing us to meet at his house to get the float ready! The city of Deming may need to wear sunglasses as our float passes downtown Deming. Its going to be BRIGHT! We had a great BBQ and had a great time with each other! Thanks to Lion Bernie for all the good cooking! New Lion Chrisy Loya and Lion Toby Soderberg won a raffle prize each of a home made Christmas Light-Up Tree. Our next "official" meeting will not be until January 13, 2009! Please see below for some important dates:
