A thank-you note was received by the Helen Jones of Open Door for the food contributions we made last month. Nutterfort Elementary kids also sent thank notes for our donation of newspapers to their class.
Scholarship Committee is reviewing 30 applicants who are competing for one of two $500 scholarships. The Committee has observed that these candidates have very impressive resumes which will make deciding on the winners difficult.
Lion Joe discussed a fund raising proposal in which the Club would rent a table or two at the Shinnston Lions annual yard sale day in August. Our club members can donate items to be sold at the yard sale with the proceeds going to the club. Items not sold can be given to the Mission. By renting a table from Shinnston Lions, we avoid the hassle of organizing our own yard sale and provide support to our fellow Shinnston Lions. Members are encouraged to identify and save items appropriate for a yard sale for donation to the club for our yard sale table.
