Rehoboth Anawan Lions Club News

Posted

At a the recent meeting held on March 16th at the M and D restaurant there was a lot of information that was discussed and it was announced that we had four members who had volunteered to be our bowlers that was held on Sunday March 9th in Somerset.

The bowling was for our district and money raised was for Massachusetts Eye Research.

This event is held every year and always has been very successful. Thank you to all who bowled and those who came as spectators it is always a fun day.

It was mentioned that the third cabinet meeting was being held on March 27th in East Taunton. There are 8 members who will be attending and who bring back the pertinent information to our club at our next meeting. It is always a very informing meeting to our members and the information is always appreciated.

It was announced to the membership that we will be touring the Children's Hospital on March 30th in Boston to see how things go along and how our monies donated to the cause are put to use. We have always found this to be a very worthy cause and the new girls who have come into our club will have the opportunity to see what and why we give to this cause. Enjoy the situation girls it is very worth the fund raisers we do and donate.

There will be a fundraiser that some of our girls attend at the So. Attleboro Village Lions club which is a brown bag auction we have some girls going as they always do, this is in April. We have fun and a portion of the monies collects is given in the name of the clubs who attend. It is very worthwhile and fun.

Things coming up; Bake Sale at the Bristol County Bank on April 15th the day before Easter. The bunny will be there for pictures and we will also have our Mom's Day Basket on display which will have tickets on sale as well. This will be raffled off at our 1st May meeting so if you want any they will be on sale at the bake sale as well. there are usually people who are not members who see the basket and always want tickets so take a look and get some. Thank you to all who come and buy goodies and tickets too We always look forward to our friends who support us in all our endeavors!

Another event we have is Lions World Wide Week of Service to Protect the Planet. Members suggested cleaning the playground at Palmer River school - more information to come.

We are looking forward to inducting a new member in April as well.
