We had a late summer picnic at Lions Park the night of 10 September 2009 at Lion Park here in Dodge City. Fifteen Lions or spouses attended and everyone enjoyed themselves; it is always nice to socialize away from meetings or projects. Pictures forthcoming...
We are planning on sending out needs assessment forms to various community leaders and community organizations. It would be very nice if our club could begin new community service projects.
The Dodge City Lions Club served as ushers at the 2009 Dodge City Rodeo. Various pictures will be available for the public.
The Dodge City Lions formed a Relay Team (Team Karla in honour of the late and lamented Karla Miller. The walk was held at the Civic Centre and went quite well. We plan on having the team again in 2010.
We had a number of helpers from "The Pink Ladies". These girls walked and helped out and it was a pleasure to see the "younger generation" so well represented!
As of the December 2009 Board of Directors meeting, work is progressing on the January 2010 Pancake Feast. The missing valves were replaced on both grills and the "K" gave them excellent field tests!
The 2009 Pancake Feast went quite well.
We made a good amount of money; our profit is quite good compared
to past years. We will be able to help a lot of people this
coming year and will still have enough money for next year's (2010)
pancake feed.
The first night was a bit rocky as we had a new type of pancake mix
(large bags vice using the 3 one pound boxes). We needed to
experiment a bit whilst figuring out how much water we really needed
and how much vegetable oil. Then, we had new pancake
flippers and they ran part of the grills too hot at first (on
Thursday). However, all of this was squared away by Friday
night and we got a lot of praise from the customers Friday and Saturday
night. We had a very good turnout Saturday.
A number of teenage boys came over from Youghville to help put the
tables and chairs away. These young fellows worked well and very
quickly and we had one of the fastest cleanups we've had in a long time!
The Dodge City (noon) Lions Club bought a cosmetic "replacement eye" for an 8 year old boy. It looks quite well on him.
