Pleasant Grove Family Dinner Night Oct. 18, 2008

Milton Taylor was sworn in by past president Lynn Seely as President of the Lions Club created by the unforeseen resignations of our prior president. We look forward to good times ahead and a growth in membership. The more members we have the greater service we can provide. Jo Taylor (wife and secretary) is shown pinning on the president's pin.

Sharon Hunt (a co-chairman of the Festival of Trees) shared information with us about the Festival of Trees and how Primary Children’s hospital came to be. She had some wonderful stories of how this hospital has made such a difference in children’s lives. The Festival raises money for the hospital and is a great event to attend. Festival of Trees this year will be December 3-6, 3008 at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy, Utah.

Jason Stapleton plaid a couple piano numbers and his brother Nation shared with us the story he told at the local Story Festival that raises money for the local library.

Lions Family Night Sept 20, 2008

We had a wonderful dinner furnished by members of the lions club. These family nights are enjoyable with dinner and a program. Lizzy and Libby and their family members joined with us and Lizzy and Libby shared their experience in India and Africa. Lizzy was in India and worked at the leprosy colony. Libby worked at a deaf school in western Africa. We were grateful to help support these to very special young ladies. Libby's dad and brother furnished a couple of musical numbers. We just had a wonderful time. Below are pictures of Lizzy, Libby and Libby's dad and brother.

Milt Taylor our club Vice President received his belated 25 year chevron. We were happy for him and the years of service he has provided.

Sept 18, 2008 Eye Screening

The Lions Club did an eye screening at Central Elementary in Pleasant Grove. In the couple of hours that we were there we screened 500 children. Lorrie, Darlene, Jo, Jay and Carrie were present from the lions club and Linda Monson also helped. It was surprising how many children had eye issues so we really were able to make a difference for the children so that they can be on the read of improving their sight.
