Lion Days 2nd VDG Ron Bigham

Greetings Fellow Lions of 25F

Wow It sure was a beautiful day for Organization Day for the 75 or so Lions who attended I enjoyed visiting with my fellow Lions and I apologize to those that I did not get an opportunity to visit with on Saturday

As we start the month of August the so called ldquodog daysrdquo of summer which is actually an astronomical reference from the Greeks and does not refer to our canine friends but let us consider a new summer reference ldquoLion Daysrdquo

The Great Indiana State Fair provides us with ldquoLion Daysrdquo by signing up to sell and take tickets at the entranc-es to the Fair This provides funds for our Foundation which benefits all of our Clubs in Indiana Please contact PDG Bob Booher for more information and shift availa-bility

While there be sure to stop by the Indpls-Washington Twp Lions sweet corn stand It is by far the BEST sweet corn on the fairgrounds The stand is located 200 feet east of the Coliseum

See you at the Great Indiana State Fair

What a beautiful day we had for Organizational Day Since then I have had several ask if the NP-20 is not due un-til November then why do it now The answer is let the pre-vious Treasurer complete all the documents and submit them The figures are on his year and will be familiar with them Also when the books are turned over to the new Treasurer you dont have to worry about the past and can stay focused on the new year

If you have any other concerns please feel free to contact me at any time I am there to assist you all

Dont forget Indianapolis Washington Township goes dark for August as we are all at the Indiana State Fair Hope to see you all at the Corn Stand

As we start the month of August the so called ldquodog daysrdquo of summer which is actually an astronomical reference from the Greeks and does not refer to our canine friends but let us consider a new summer reference ldquoLion Daysrdquo

The Great Indiana State Fair provides us with ldquoLion Daysrdquo by signing up to sell and take tickets at the entranc-es to the Fair This provides funds for our Foundation which benefits all of our Clubs in Indiana Please contact PDG Bob Booher for more information and shift availa-bility

While there be sure to stop by the Indpls-Washington Twp Lions sweet corn stand It is by far the BEST sweet corn on the fairgrounds The stand is located 200 feet east of the Coliseum

See you at the Great Indiana State Fair
