Rainier Lions Club Minutes for February 25, 2013
Members in attendance:
Linda Lazelle, Shirley Gibson, Evan Burnett, George Johnson, Linda
Johnson, Brenda Flaherty, Art Runyan, Bernice Beck, Rodney Mitchell, Kay Bryant
Guests in attendance:
Bud Green, Bill Evans, Kevin McMains
George went over the items on our agenda while we were
eating dinner.
We said the pledge of allegiance, sang America and George
said a prayer.
Bill Evans: Bill
talked about the future of the Lions Clubs and MD-19. He is taking a proactive approach to
leadership in our clubs. He believes in
families and that Lions Clubs should encourage families to join the clubs. We were very impressed with Bill and his attitude
toward Lions, the future of Lions Clubs.
Kevin McMains talked about American Legion. He was awarded the Purple Heart. He sold raffle tickets to a turkey dinner and
Mineral Lake Fishing Derby. The proceeds
go to the vets and community.
We formally voted on giving Roy $100 dollar donation..There
was an informal vote in favor of donating $100. To Roy Community Lions at the
last meeting, but Linda Lazelle left before the vote, so we voted again. The issue unanimously passed. The funds have been sent to Roy.
Bernice Beck gave us an update on the results of our Texas Ruby Red grapefruit sales this year.
We discussed "White Cane Days." We will be holding our fundraisers it on Thursday May 2, at Jim Bob's Restaurant in McKenna and on Saturday May 4th at the Texaco in Rainier, WA.
The Rainier Lions Club's Pancake Breakfast & Silent Auction date has been changed from March 23, 2013 to April 27, 2013. There are too many other activities that have been planned for that day. (Lacey Sunrise Pancake Breakfast, Tacoma Lions Potato Bake, Bonney Lake Lions "Death by Chocolate" and the Rainier Public Schools Annual Auction.)
We support our Rainier Public Schools, so we decided to change the date, so our fundraiser so it will not conflict with their annual fundraiser.
We thanked the Cub Scouts for their support and help with our quarterly road clean-up. The turnout on February 9th was the best turnout we've ever had. There were over 30 people there. The Cub Scouts and their parents cleaned up the park and walking trail.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO CUB SCOUT PACK #307!!
We appreciate everything you do for our community!
Cub Scout Meeting this Coming Sunday Night
Update on the Cub Scouts:
Last night they had a Blue and Gold banquet meeting at the High School .
It was attended by all the Cub Scouts , Tim Garchow , leaders and parents.
There was a large turnout with at least 100 people in attendance. It was
truly a very enjoyable experience with awards and a graduation from Cub Scouts
to Boy Scouts for the Webelos pack.
We Lions as the charter group can be very proud of pack 307 and the work
of there parents. You would almost think that they have been in town for years
with the organization and enthusiasm that they display.
There will be a Cub Scout committee meeting this Sunday night and anyone
interested may attend at 6 PM at the Rainier Chapel . The leaders welcome
suggestions and involvement from the community.
I will get the final results from their first fundraiser later today but
it looks like they will be able to open a checking account.
Some other good news is that Bud and Julia Green are definitely joining
the lions and I also believe that Kelli and Rich Hill are going to become
members. Spoke with Ken Bergman who also expressed interest in the Lions.
I truly urge any of us that can attend any of the meetings with the
Scouts and especially the monthly banquet ceremony, as it makes one smile a lot.
Hope to see you at the Cub Scouts Meeting Sunday night at 6 PM .
George
