The installation of our new officers marks the beginning of a new year for our Lions Club.  We were privileged to have District Governor-Elect Suzie Rodgers preside over the installation with a helping hand from Suzie\u2019s husband, Stan, on Tuesday, May 13.  The club officers this year include a few returning officers and some of our new members who volunteered.  Join our club, and we will put you to work.  We love active members. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The services committee is preparing to go shopping for school supplies.  This is one area in which our three supported elementary schools need assistance.  We check in with the community liaison staff at the schools to determine their needs, ensuring we are meeting them.  The school supply list is extensive, and some of our students require additional support to help them succeed in class.  It\u2019s a good feeling for these students to know they have the notebooks, pencils, folders, and pencil boxes they will need ready for them at school.  This is just one of the areas where we use the funds raised at our Casino Night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our year begins on Tuesday, July 1. We have meetings scheduled for both the second and fourth Tuesday in July to conduct the business of our club and prepare for the Lions District 35L \u201cmini\u201d conference here on Saturday, Aug. 2.  Our club is privileged to host this conference and welcome Lions from across our district which includes the panhandle of Florida to Jacksonville and south to Marion County.  Our members will be busy this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are always seeking new members to help us achieve our community service goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lions Club meetings are on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month in the Arbor Conference Center Event Room at 5 p.m. For further information, please contact Estelle Michelson, our membership chair, at 352-861-7358.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
