Lions Club Host Bingo Nights Along with Suppers
November 19, 2004
The Eads Lions Club has hosted two Bingo Nights, one in September with the hamburger-hot dog meal and the other November 9th in conjunction with the FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) and Red Cross baked potato dinner. The Lions are under the leadership of their President Max Owens. Bill Woelk, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer, Alvin Clamp, play a vital role in organizing these projects so money can be earned for local scholarships and benevolent projects in the community or national Lions Club. Lawrence Engstrom has attended the State workshops to keep up with the Bingo Rules and he is assisted by Jacob Diel, Warren Yule, and Louis James.
The Lions Club is considering having their meetings at noon in the future; however, the usual time for meetings is on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the Our Place meeting room. The Eads Lions club welcome men and women to come to these meetings to find out if they would like to be a part of this group. The next meeting is December 7th.
Ashley Brown was the recipient of the 2004 Lions Club Scholarship. Ashley is a student at Regis University in Denver.
The Lions group will be having some boxes around town for used eye glasses. Some other worthy projects in past years is having sponsored young men to a summer camp, awarding scholarships, selling good quality brooms and floor care products, and the Eads Sports calendar.
Next spring they may have some type of fishing clinic for youngsters. If people would like to join our group or would like more information, they are welcome to call one of the people noted in this article or myself, Doris Lessenden.
