Club News:

May was a busy month and June promises to be busier yet.  Upcoming events include a Lions Mint sale,

the Vintage Car Show Barbeque, Journey for Sight (rained out in May), the Community Days Barbeque, and our annual Awards Banquet.  Events in May included 15 hours and $70 in materials to complete the painting of the Cooper Pavilion roof in Big Flats Community Park, course marshals for the Susan Komen Walk, and 3 days manning our Coffee tent at the Campbell rest area (raised $500+ for Community Service Fund!).  The efforts or our club were recognized by 8 year old Sara Lovell, who drew a fine poster for us.  The poster was presented at our May meeting and will be preserved in our Club archives.  Also at our May meeting, Justice Charles Wood outlined the NYS Court System and described activities in the Big Flats Town Court.  King Lion Gary Bernhardt presented Service Awards to Lion Lance Muir for 10 years and Lion Al Redner for 15 years.  He also presented Lion Mary Ann Balland the 2 Member Key Award for sponsoring two new Lions.  Congratulations Lions!  Two Big Flats Lions attended the MD-20 Convention at Binghamton on May 3-5.  They were Lions Rita Dery and Donna Barto. 

 

Board Action:

Community Days Float – Lion Al Draht reported that he had received permission from the Elmira Lions Club to use the Lion and that we would have to provide insurance to cover its value of $20,000.  There will also be two “Seeing Eye Dogs in Training” lead by Patricia and Allen Caldwell following the Lion.  Sales Tax Vendor – Lion Norval Johnston reported that application had been made to the NYS Department of Taxation & Finance with an effective date of June 9th 2002.  Lion Don Willams presented the Treasurer with a $28 check for recycled printer cartridges.  Pins from Lions Cox and Jacobus – Lion Al Draht is to make a display of the pins and duplicates will be given to Camp Badger for the pin auction on Lions Service Day.  $100 was donated from Community Service Funds to Empire State Speech & Hearing Clinic for camper supplies.  Thank you notes were received from IPDG Jim Killam for support resulting in 100% DG Award, Boy Scout Troop 87 for donation, and Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind for $200 donation.
