KING LION PAT AND PERP GUEST SUKOSH ON THE NEWS

The most recent episode of Oneida News did a segment on Sukosh Fearon, our perpetual guest, but I think our own King Lion Pat really shines! Check it out ...

NEXT MEETING OCT. 14

    This Tuesday's speakers are Paulette and Keith Schiebel telling us about the VVS Community Day, returning to the school on Oct. 19. The meeting is at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion. Hope to see you there!

     Late breaking news: We will also have an award presentation to a special Lion who brought in three new members last year. It just came to me in the mail from Lions International.

MEETING TIMES STAYING AT 6:30 P.M.

Hi Lions,

     Don't forget we voted to keep our meeting time at 6:30 p.m. year-round. See you tomorrow!

RIP LION BILL BREWER

Hi Lions,

     I just received the sad news that our fellow Lion Schiele "Bill" Brewer was killed in a plane crash in the Stillwater Reservoir Thursday. The news article is attached. I will keep you all posted on any arrangements as I hear.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Hi Lions,

     I got a call from DG Tim Bush yesterday that there is officer's training this Friday, Aug. 29 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Peace Inc. in East Syracuse or also Saturday, Aug. 30 in Binghamton in the morning. Anybody interested in these? I will be working so I will have to miss them.

     Also, Sept. 14 is the first cabinet meeting in Cortland. Anybody want to go to that? He would like a headcount for both, so give me a call at 280-0692 or respond here if you are interested.

     Don't forget the picnic at Honest Bob's house this Thursday, with a Board Meeting afterwards.

     Our first regular meeting will be Tuesday, Sept. 9, and is a joint meeting with the VIPs. Sept. 23 is a SPOUSES NIGHT with speaker Carol Butler talking about her recipe collection for the Karing Cookbook. All Lions and spouses are encouraged to bring along their favorite recipes for inclusion in the book.

     Don't forget all meetings will now be at the Oneida Legion.

See you soon!

WE NEED BANDAIDS!

Hi Lions,

     King Lion Pat would like to have all of us bring out kid-oriented cartoon decorated Bandaids to our picnic to donate to the Golisano Children's Hospital. It sounds like a great outreach, and something that will be very rewarding as we help the little tykes in need of something to lift their spirits. 

    Thanks and see you there!

Lion Mike
