February 27th Meeting

The second meeting in February was at El Mariachi Loco at noon.  It's always great to get together with friends for lunch!

Lions are reminded to sign up for concessions at Taco Bell Arena for March 10th (Blake Shelton) and March 24th (Kelly Clarkson).  Contact Christina.

We still need volunteers to make desserts for "Starry Night", Star Elementary School fundraiser.  Contact Kathy if you can bring a dessert for the silent auction.  Not a baker?  Can you help serve?  Or just buy a ticket to attend the dinner-only $10. 

Fiesta Fundraiser

Lions gathered with about 80 of their friends and neighbors to eat at El Mariachi Loco on February 21st.  The restaurant donated a portion of the evening's proceeds to the Brick Project. Donna and Robert took home the prizes for bringing the most guests.  Donna was friends with just about everyone who came in the door!  Way to go!

February 13th Meeting

The first February meeting was on Monday, February 13th.  We listened to an interesting presentation about Ride Idaho, a week long bicycle ride through scenic Idaho.  Brett Tinker organizes the event which raises money through entry fees and sponsorships for local charities.  Bill signed up to volunteer!  Del Oswald from Meridian Noon Lions was also there, talking about Bowling for Sight and Hunger on February 25th.

In club business, Kathy announced that Lions had been asked to bring desserts to the Starry Night fundraiser on March 9th for the Star Elementary School.  Mike volunteered to speak to local restaurants about the Braille/Large Print Menu program for the Idaho Commission for the Blind.
