NOVEMBER 2020
THE SOUTH SHUSWAP SCOOP
Sorrento Lions Club By Judi Kembel Our weekly meat draws at the Copper Island Pub & Grill on the TransCanada Highway in Sorrento resumed on September 18, 2020 and will run every Friday until June 18, 2021 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. On December 18, we will have ten turkeys for the draw just in time for Christmas. Come early as space is limited due to Covid restrictions. We have sanitizer available upon entrance and our working members wear face shields (so you can see their smiling faces!). The Pub is following all protocols for a safe venue. We thank you for your support. Unfortunately, our Children’s Halloween Party in October had to be cancelled but we will be continuing a new tradition of the “Pumpkin Patch”. Members picked up the pumpkins from DeMille’s and distributed them at the school on October 28. The children were let loose to “pick” their pumpkin and take them home. We also funded a Halloween treat bag project (see Sorrento School PAC article). We didn’t want the
children to miss out and hope everyone had a wonderful time. We continue to assist residents by delivering groceries from the Lighthouse Market while maintaining physical distance and will to do so as long as we are needed. Since all of our fund raising projects have either been cancelled or suspended, once again, we would appreciate any ideas our community may have so that we may still be active while maintaining social distancing. You can send your ideas to sorrentolionsclub@yahoo.ca . If you are interested in helping your community, please consider joining our club. If you are over 19 years of age (male or female) and would like more information about becoming a Lion, please contact the Sorrento Lions Club Secretary Lion Leona at our email address: sorrentolionsclub@yahoo.ca. We would love to hear from you! Check out our website at http://e-clubhouse.org/sites/ sorrentobc/ .
