Fellow Lions,
As you can see by the calendar that the editor has posted, we are heading into our busiest time of the year. This is also, arguably, our most important time of the year as well. How we perform as a club over the next few months will go a long way in determining how successful we are in serving the needs of the community in 2012-2013. As I see it, three important things need to happen.
First of all, we need to fill every possible time and date that is set-up to sell Duck Race tickets. As we all know, a rainy Duck Race will greatly hamper our revenue at this event. The law of averages suggests that this will happen on some Memorial Day weekend.
Secondly, our car committee is starting to sell tickets at the end of April. We need a strong start to this campaign as our car committee chairman has ambitiously set a goal of $100,000 in sales. With all the hard work and dedication that goes into this fundraiser, we need to give this committee our support when the event calendar goes up and the committeemen call. We don’t want to try to play catch-up if we can help it.
Third, take a look at the upcoming events. On
some days, such as April 28th, we have four functions that warrant
our attendance going on simultaneously. On that particular Saturday, we are
selling Duck Race tickets, Mustang tickets, participating in Earth Day with our
Lose The Litter initiative and attending the work Camp
Breakfast at the
We need the participation of the entire club to get this done. For those of you who are looking for a bigger role in the club, this is your time to shine.
Yours in Lionism,
Ray

Focus on Our Wives
If you have
ever seen petite Jean Sander you would never suspect that she was able to drive
a large stick shift van with no rear windows or power steering to antique shows,
unload and assemble in attractive displays large pieces of furniture, but she
did just that many times. Originally a
sales assistant to brokers at Merrill Lynch, she was attracted to the antiques
world where she met Lincoln, a full time employee of the paper business who
dabbled in antiques. Before meeting
Lincoln and afterward she was able to do twenty to
thirty shows a year in
Despite all
that time on the road, Jean had time to marry and raise a family of
three girls and one boy. She delights in
her four grandchildren. She loves family
reunions where they play games, especially bocci. She and Lincoln also love
going to good movies, especially the ones they show in
Jean has
one other major interest and that is gardening.
Her garden is a
