After a little work, we have assembled the accounting files for the Magrath Lions Club and have prepared the required AGLC report to Aug 2012 re our last Casino fundraiser, and the outstanding Society Annual Returns to Jun 2011 and Jun 2012 as required by the Alberta Government. Thanks to Lions Roger, Shauna, Tom, Alex and Devar for assembling the reports and providing the required reviews and signatures. Estimate 20 man hours work was required for this catch up, but now we should be in good standing with AGLC and Alberta Government and now ready to start on the Jun 2013 and Aug 2013 reports soon.

Financial reports are be available for review by Club Members on request. Please contact Club Treasurer 2013 Lion Shauna for access. Thanks! RDD

Our opening meeting for 2013 was held at the Magrath Fishpond near our new Terry Trainer Memorial Park. Started with a cleanup pass around the park and then had a pleasant picnic in the Town Shelter. Lion Roger plans to assist catch up of financial reports required by AGLC (the Aug 2012 report is needed before we can be approved for next Casino event in Jan 2014) and for outstanding Society Annual Returns for 2011 and 2012. Lion Elizabeth reported plans for our upcoming annual No Cost Clothing event to be held in mid September (14-15 Sep at Town Arena). She will organize flyers and place announcements in local church bulletins. We will be working this event in place of our Sep 2013 meeting - see you all there! Lion Roger.
