Club News:
Our Club started the month with a dinner program featuring Mr. Art Devenport who spoke to us about his experiences in World War II. The Club welcomed back to our dinner meeting Lion Neal Gummoe. Good to see you again Lion Neal. The dinner speakers for our second meeting were Shela Katz and Judy Schaeffler. Their main topic was cochlea implants for the hearing impaired. The $100 raffle tickets offered by NYS/Bermuda for Camp Badger were purchased by groups of Lions each contributing $20. Community Days will be on the third weekend in June as usual. Switching it to the fourth weekend was not feasible.
Board Action:
We received a notice from Lion Bob Jensen of the MJF. The Club is entitled to nominate a Lion for a Melvin Jones Fellowship award due to our contribution of $1000 for Hurricane Katrina. The three Club BBQ's will be the 11th, 17th, and 25th of June. Additional Rest Stop openings are being explored by Lion Don Williams as a fund raiser. Lion Bim reported that Lion Jim Adamy's granddaughter is doing quite well and may be back in school in the near future.
District News:
The 20 E-2 District is having a District Survival Crisis. Our District membership is down to 1258 from 1263 last month. The minimum population is 1250. There are two other districts with lower populations. If we fall below 1250 it may prompt a general state wide reorganization. Our association with Camp Badger can be threatened. If there was ever a thought about asking someone to join, now is a good time to ask. This is printed again as a reminder.
