 Springfield Queen City Lions Newsletter – May 2009

 Dear Queen City Lions,

 Wow, what a month! We are always looking for new members, but who would believe that we would have 28 new members! The Springfield Southeast Lions Club has merged with our club and it is now official.  We welcome all of you and hope that we all get to know each other better. We also have another new member and that is Nate Thompson, son of Lions Roger and Ruth Thompson.  Nate has helped us many times at the fair and we’re glad to have him as one of us.

 Many activities are coming up and I’ll try to list as many as I can. First is our Installation Dinner. It will be held at Cooper Estates on Tuesday, June 9 at 6:30 and Lion Ken Farrell will be catering the meal. I’m not sure what we are having, but I heard he provides a very nice meal. The cost is $12.00 a person and Lion Jim Dowell is taking reservations. If you are unable to be at a meeting you can call him at 886-3609.  Volunteers are needed to decorate; the club will pick up the cost of decorating. DGE Charlie Haywood will be the installing officer

 The Republic Lions are hosting a trip to see the Springfield Cardinals on Saturday, July 25. The cost is $9.00 a ticket and reservations need to be made before July 15. I will turn in the reservations along with the money to the Republic Club.

 The next activity is working the gates at the Ozark Empire Fair. That will be Friday, July 31, Sat. Aug. 1, Sun. Aug 2, and Sat. Aug. 8. We are hired every year to sell admission tickets. We have not received the contract, but know it is on the way. We hope you will help if you are able.  More on this later.

 The SE club always sponsored a golf tournament and we intend on continuing this. The date is October 3.

 Look forward to another great year.
