Thank you to all who helped make our No Cost Clothing event (Aug 29/30) so successful this year! It was a great way to start us out in service to the community. The costs to run this event were minimal - a 100ft clothesline rope and 24 xl hd clear plastic bags for the cleanup afterwards. We happened to find $50 donation at back of collection van which was used as a deposit on the town sign and later to cover those expenses. Yay. Herb McKelvey also donated $5 toward the lions club for this project to me at my work.

Thanks to those who were able to attend our final event for the year! We were able to piggyback with the town cleanup event and made fairly quick work of the cleanup along the trail. We put the club wheelbarrow to good use and moved half dozen loads of dead branches and picked thistles along the upper trail. We were also happy to support the BBQ afterward, with many hamburgers and hotdogs purchased for that $60 donation. Thankfully the threatening rain held off until after the work and eating was all done.
Afterward, we continued the festivities inside the camp kitchen while it rained for a short time, and sang happy birthday to Adrien 16 and Preston 1 and then had cake and icecream and visited for a while. All the younger children then helped Lion Roger test out the Terry Trainer Memorial (Pirate Ship) playground. We will hold our new Lionistic year meeting in Sep 2014. See you all then! Our year end picnic has been rescheduled to Tue 24 Jun 2014 .. in conjunction with the 3rd Annual Magrath Trails Cleanup & Family Picnic at the Park. The fun starts at 6pm at the Magrath Fishpond park .. to work a bit on the trail and/or playground and then the picnic is afterward .. Please wear your Lions Shirts and bring whatever cleanup tools you have about. We hope the water has receded a bit by then!
See you all there! Next Sat 29 Mar 2014 10am at White's .. Thanks
Agenda:
Spackman's are off crusing soon .. but everyone else should be back in Magrath! We hope to have a quick Lions meeting at 10am at the Davies home to plan upcoming activities.Come if you can!
Meeting Minutes
Magrath Campground - Day of Service .. OK .. so we have a little conflict here. So, we plan to combine the events and work the rest out online. Dear Club members: If you are not otherwise booked for a service project, Lion Shauna and I will be helping out at the Magrath Stake Campground - they have painting and cleanup needed there. I will have my phone with me if you call us you should be able to track us down. I will also post updates by email for current assignments. Thanks See you there!
