New information for all our readers!
There have been some changes and some important updates... I hope you will all benefit from this information:
* Our club has decided to change meeting locations! We will begin our new Lions Year by meeting at the Grand Motor Inn located at 1721 E. Pine St. Our first meeting there will be on July 12, 2011. Our last meeting for the 10-11 year will be at the swimming pool on June 28th. This will be Lion David's last meeting as president!
*Our club has been working very hard at the Sam Baca Aquatic Center since the end of August at the Lions Snack Bar! We have been doing very well and we are very grateful to the City of Deming and the staff of the pool for all their help and support! Come by and visit us! We have the best prices in town! Hot dogs available for only $1!
* The swimming pool will be offering a "FREE Swimming Day" on July 9th from 1:00 to 4:15 to the general public! We hope you will all join us that day as well for Ice Cold Water and Drinks, Hot Dogs, Chips, and other snacks!
A message from the President:
For the past two years, I have had the honor of serving as president of the Luna Evening Lions Club (formerly Deming Wildcats). Through my 2 terms as president, we have purchased over 10 pairs of glasses for local citizens (mostly children), participated in the support of Class Act, donated hundreds of dollars to the Healing House of Deming in the form of food baskets, worked countless hours at the Swimming Pool Snack Bar, continued our tradition of the Annual Easter Egg Hunt, Duck Race Parade, Christmas Light Parade, initiated Deming's first Dog Show, donated a shopping cart full of supplies to the Humane Society, and helped several students and school organizations to fulfill their commitments as well. One of the proud traditions we have started is supporting the residents of our local nursing home. This is one of our proudest accomplishments! In so many places the elderly are left alone and neglected; it makes my heart happy that we will not let that happen here! I also believe that I may be leaving out some very important accomplishments-- unintentionally!
I could not have been able to serve to my best ability with out the support of the club! The officers have been an asset to our club and we are lucky to have such wonderful people here to server our community! I would like to especially that Lion Toby Soderberg for all his support and countless hours of help! I would also like to thank PDG Lion LeRoy Rapp (Deming Club President) for all his help and wonderful advice and friendship! We would have been lost without these two dedicated Lions.
As I transition back into the Secretary position and add the position of Treasurer to my Lionistic resume, I hope that I can continue to support this club to the best of my ability. I love every member very dearly and I am glad to have such a great addition to my family. I know Lion Toby has some great plans for our club in the coming year and I look forward to working with him! Keep it up Luna Evening Lions! We have survived and prospered more than we were ever expected to! Our motto is true, We DO Serve!
Lion David
