Summer Social Auguest 15th, 2009

Our club had it's annual summer social at the home of Lynn and Darline Seely. Thank you Lynn and Darline. The weather was very cooperative and pleasant. We had Katherine Willis who the Lions club helped support at Girl's State. She shared with us about her experience at Girl's State and the leadership skills she had the opportunity to learn. After her remarks she played several musical selections on her cello. She is very talented. She plays with the Temple Square Orchestra. That is way cool. Pictures will be forth coming.

We do these type of scholarships once a year to try and promote leadership among our nation's youth as one day they will be our future leaders.

Come join us in Lionism and help us made a real difference in our community. The community is only as good as the service that is rendered by concerned people and service organizations that care. It is not what your community can do for you but what you can do for your community. There are many wonderful opportunities not only in our community but the world as a whole. The more members we have the more we can give to our community. So if you have ever come across occasions where you have seen where a lions club has changed a community for the better contact us and see if Lionism can be a vehicle for you to not only add richness to your life but enrich others as well.
