Thanks.

Fellow Lions,
As we prepare for the holiday season, there are two groups we can truly help:
1. Robyn Moore, Executive Director, Kent County Christmas Basket Committee, has asked if we can provide needed holiday gifts for Kent county youth. She really needs gift cards (McDonald’s, Arby’s, Walgreen’s, and Dominoes in $10.00 size denominations) and typical art supplies (pens, pencils, art paper, markers, and scissors). If you can bring your gift donations to the Dinner Meeting on December 12, KL Dave will deliver them to the Worton Community Center. These gifts should not be wrapped.
2. 2VDG Wayne Benjamin advises that as Christmas is rapidly approaching and I think of those less fortunate than myself. I am a board member at the Humane Society and I know many of the fifteen hard working dedicated individuals who work at our local animal shelter. Their salaries are certainly not a reason for working there! They love the animals that we call ‘man’s best friend’. I would like to appeal to the Lions Club membership to reach a little deeper into their pockets this Christmas and see if they could give a few dollars to these young men and women this Christmas as a bonus and our “thank you”. If there are those out there who prefer a check, it may be made out to Humane Society of Kent County. I am only asking for a few dollars but obviously more is always better. I would like to put a pail on the table at our Christmas Party for donations. Will be appreciated by all.
For a Happy Holiday Season.
Thanks.

Fellow Lions,
A really big thank-you goes out to Lion Bob Knapp, Parade Coordinator, and his entire parade team for an excellent job in conducting a very successful Halloween Parade on Sunday, October 28th. As it turns out, it was the correct decision to move the parade to Sunday, a much more suitable day finally for a parade! I know the team members who got the contestants signed-up and lined-up; got them underway on time; walked the parade route with the group signs; announced contestants at the viewing stand, and acted as judges all deserve much credit for a successful parade. I think the community really appreciates what we do as is evident by the enthusiasm they show all along the parade route.
Again, many thanks to all for a job well done.

Fellow Lions,
I really appreciate the outstanding member turnout last night for District Governor Wayne Cole’s visit. It turned out to be a great evening of fellowship with 16 members visiting from Rock Hall, 6 members from Chesapeake City and a number of members’ guests attending.
Since there was so much going on last night, I wanted to get a reminder out to you so you can mark your calendars for these important Lion events.
Thanks.
