I ran into Taylor Koehn, our 2014-2015 Scholarship recipient, last Saturday night at Fieldstone where she waitresses on the weekends. Taylor was asked by Lion Dennis Zimmerman to speak at a meeting. She is excited and agreed to speak at our May 12th meeting. I will follow-up with her to finalize the arrangements.
District 1D has asked us to provide an item of $25.00 or more value for the District 1D Convention Silent Auction to help offset expenses. Thanks to Lion Roland Caruso for mentioning getting a golf certificate for Park Hills. He checked and we sent an email asking for their support, to which they said they would. This will help promote Freeport Lions, our community and our golf course, and also help District 1D meet their goal of reducing expenses.
Our "Cruzin' for a Cause" Car Show Chairman, Lion Rick Eastman, says all dash plaques have been sold. However, members should still seek donations "AND" don't forget to sell those 50/50 raffle tickets.
Membership News: I received an email indicating Lion Mike Schiffman, who currently resides in Ridott, would like to transfer his membership from Dakota to Freeport Lions Club. I have reached out to him and hope he can join us at our April 14th meeting. Mike is currently the Superintendent of Schools for the Dakota School District, and has been named the new Superintendent of Schools for the Freeport School District.
Prospective member: I received an email indicating Joshua Haas (currently a student) has an interest in joining Lions. I reached out to him and the plan is for him to come to our meeting on the 14th and learn more about what Lions are all about.
The April 14th Meeting Guest Speaker will be Past District Governor, Duane Shaw, who will give us a presentation on Camp Lions.
Wanted to keep everyone in the loop.
See you on the 14th!
Lion Joe
