Wildcats Lions Updates!

Well, I'm finally updating the blog! I know it has been a while, but it has been an equally busy time the last few months!

Updates:

• Dog Show: Went very well! Tremendous thanks to Lion Toby for his leadership and direction on this project and to Lion Nancy for her securing so many fantastic sponsors!
• Easter Egg Hunt: A great community service project for all! We hid over 1,000 eggs this year again and it was fun! We had about 40 kids ages 18 months-12 years old participate! Lion Maria was brave enough to dress up as the "Easter Bunny" for us.
• New Officers: At the last meeting, we voted on a new roster of officers for Lion Year 10-11. They are as follows:
  President: David Valenzuela
  Vice President: Karen Schalip
  Secretary/Treasurer: Toby Soderberg
  Membership Director: Barb Rapp
  Tail Twister: Nancy Hollenbeck
  Lion Tamer: Wayne Krack
  
  Congrats to our officers! You are entrusted with the task of LEADERSHIP. Welcome Lion Barb to the list of officers! We have some great projects ahead for you (and us all)!

The next meeting will be April 6 at Rancher's Grill. We will NOT be meeting on the 2nd Tuesday this month.

Red, Set, BOWL!

Thank you to all Lions that showed for the bowling meeting. It was SO MUCH FUN! I hope that everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did.

I wanted to let you all know that our Thanksgiving Baskets were delivered to three families on Tuesday, before the meeting. The families that were chosen were in really great need of food. If you have any questions about the baskets, please ask me or Lion Toby.

I am looking forward to the Light Parade! Remember, December 2 and 3 are decorating dates. Also, Secret Santa information has been exchanged. We will be exchanging gifts on December 18 at our Christmas Party!

See you all next week!
