Rehoboth Anawan Lions

The Rehoboth Anawan Lions club held its first meeting of the new Lionistic year on July 14th at the home of Elaine Ferreira. The club discussed the events that are planned for the year with the new President Deb Pires presiding. It was announced that the District was having a World Youth Week and the Rehoboth Anawan, the Rehoboth Lions and the Dighton Rehoboth Leo's Club will be participating by helping to spread mulch at the playground at Palmer River School. There will be 50 yards of mulch delivered to the school. This project will take place on August 6th at 9:00 a.m. The above clubs are scheduled to help on that day. Susan Nokes our new secretary this year and a teacher at Palmer River will be chairing this event for the Lions. Clubs volunteers should bring rakes, shovels and a lunch. Other large equipment will be supplied. The Rehoboth PTSA President Karen DeRoche has also asked for help with this project. The more hands the quicker the job. Thank you for all your help.

The latest fund raising project that we held was the Gatlin Show on the 23rd of July. it was a huge success and we want to Thank all who bought tickets and everyone enjoyed the event. Chairpersons for the event were Elaine Ferreira and Jeanne Noons; Job well done, and a big Thank You to our members who worked so hard to make this a huge success.

We held our usual bingo night at the Marion Manor nursing home where we have been doing this since we became a new club. It will be going on 25 years at the end of this year. They enjoy it so much and it makes us very happy to see them so happy.

We will be having a booth at the Harvest Block Party this year so please look for us and stop by and say HI! We are always looking for new members so if you’re interested just say the word and we can explain what a member’s job entails. We work hard, we have lots of fun and we do a lot for the community.

Thank You again and remember our motto "We Serve" and indeed we do. See you next month
