THE NORTH SHUSWAP KICKER

Lions Club News By Ted Danyluk Hope you have a safe and enjoyable Labour Day weekend. Well the North Shuswap Lions continued right through the summer months with their weekly Meat & 50/50 Draws at The Hub. A BIGG “Pat on The Back” to everyone who supported our Draws this summer as well as the recipient organizations that the Club supports from the money raised at this weekly event. Thank You to The Hub for hosting the Meat & 50/50 Draw during July and August; we look forward to seeing everyone during the upcoming fall and winter months. A group that the Lions supported this summer with a financial donation was the North Shuswap Pathway Team. This is a very dynamic and focused group working under the sponsorship of the North Shuswap Chamber of Commerce to develop an Active Transportation Plan from Skwlax to St. Ives. Our donation will be used to purchase display materials so the group can share their work with strategic partners and residents of the North Shuswap. Since our Lions Club is less than fifty people, and we practice social distancing, we can meet, and we NEED NEW MEMBERS. Our first regular meeting of the 2020/21 year is Thursday, September 10 at 7:00 pm in the main hall of the North Shuswap Community Hall in Celista. The Club meets at this location and time, on the second and fourth Thursday every month from September
to June. Here are a couple of reasons why you should join the best club in the area…… *you do volunteer work to support your community *you meet new people *you have fun attending meetings and social events *you make a positive difference in your community If you have questions, are interested in attending a meeting, or need more information, please contact Pat Anderson at 250955-2432 or apatirene@gmail.com or any Club member. Over the last 100 years, the kindness of Lions has multiplied across borders, oceans and continents. With over 1.4 million members, we have the opportunity to truly change the world. That is why Lions International is uniting their global service around five areas of need. These global causes present significant challenges to humanity, and we believe it is our turn to meet them. *we serve to reduce the prevalence of diabetes and improve quality of life for those diagnosed. *we serve to prevent avoidable blindness and improve quality of life for people who are blind and visually impaired. *we serve to ensure all community members have access to nutritious foods. *we serve to sustainably protect and restore our environment to improve the well being of all communities. *we serve to help those affected by childhood cancer, survive and thrive.
