A Message from the President

Greeting Fellow Lions,

Back in 1968, The Lovin' Spoonful gave us one of the Top 10 Songs of Summer. Even if you didn't hear it when it was new, you probably know the first few words of the chorus:

“Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck gettin' dirty-'n'-gritty”

I am reminded of this song whenever I think about working at our food booth at the 4-H Fair.

Yes, it's that time of year again - time for our single largest fund-raiser of the year – the Lakeville Lions food booth at the St. Joseph County 4-H Fair, and we need all the help we can get from Lions, family members, and friends.

First, we need your help to finish the pre-fair cleanup. The final cleanup session will be Tuesday, July 22, at 6:00 p.m. Most of the hard work is done, but everything needs to be washed one more time.

As always, we will need lots of help to operate the booth 17 hours a day for 8 days. Lion Dave Grenert is making the work schedule for the fair, and has been calling Lions Club members to find out when they are available to work. He reports that he has left many messages, but that few Lions have returned his calls. If you did not return Lion Dave's call, he has assumed that you are available to work any shift any day, and has scheduled you in an open slot.

As I write this letter, Lion Dave is preparing to mail notices to all Lions informing them of their scheduled work time. If you will not be available to work at your scheduled time, please call Lion Dave, so he can schedule you to work when you are available.

Remember the Lions' motto: We Serve. We need the help of every Lion to ensure that we can continue to serve our community

Yours in Lionism,
Lion Paul Russell
