  • Guest Speaker - Charles Villee

    Ambassador, Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts

    Ming Dynasty Restaurant, Rt. 139, Marshfield

    • AT THE LAST MEETING on January 18th, 10 members were on hand to greet DG Steve Raposa and CST Bev Dillon as they made their official visitation to the club. 

    DG Steve spoke about his goals this year of 1) that the clubs in District 33S raise $400,000 for Mass. Lions Eye Research, and 2) that there be a plus-19 growth in membership throughout the District.  Noting that there are 45,000 Lions Clubs world-wide, DG Steve also spoke about Int'l President Tan's desire that clubs plant trees in their communities. DG Steve hopes clubs in the District will plant a total of at least 50 trees.

    OTHER NEWS & NOTES

    The club will plan to attend the Charter Night of the college-based Lions Club that is forming at UMass-Dartmouth.  Lion Bob K's granddaughter, Paisley Kirkland, will be joining that new club as a charter member.

    St. Patrick's Day is coming, and with it comes the Scituate St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday, March 18, 2012.  The District 33S Eyemobile is booked for that date to be part of the parade - along with us!  We will once again be a "Good Neighbor Sponsor" of the parade. 

    NOTE: The Spring Pancake Breakfast will be held on Sunday, March 25th, at the Elks Hall on Rt. 139 in Marshfield.  (Our usual date, Palm Sunday, April 1st was booked, April 8th is Easter, and the date we had chosen, April 15th, is the start of the spring school vacation week!)  So, mark your calendars now!

    The next Daily Number Lottery Raffle will be held beginning March 26th, and run  thru April 4th.  Tickets will be available at the coming meeting.  We can also sell tickets at the March 25th Pancake Breakfast. Tickets are $10 each, with only 100 tickets sold.  How does it work? If the two numbers on your ticket match the middle two numbers of the Mass. Daily Number (evening drawing), then you win $50.00! 

     

     

    GO PATRIOTS - SUPERBOWL XLVI

     

    ON OUR "TO DO" LIST

    • Making plans for a show by Bonnie Main (Creepy Crawly and Company).  The date has been set - Sunday, April 15 at 2PM - at the First Church in Pembroke.  The selected date during spring school vacation is "on purpose," hopefully to attract kids and parents in a more "relaxed" time. The show is, "Creepy Crawly and Company," featuring Bonnie Main, a.k.a. The Snake Lady, and her assortment of "challenged" critters!

    • Repair of the Eyeglass Collection Box at the Village Market in Scituate. Lion The Eye Collection (Mailbox) has been repaired/welded.  Lion Paul will now arrange for the Box's repainting and lettering.  Once completed, plans will be made to publicize it's "unveiling" as it assumes its place in front of the Village Market 

    • Sponsoring a Lions Leadership Program at Marshfield High School.  Lion Al is investigating.

    • Inviting Lion Martin Middleton to speak to the club about MLERF.  PCST Lion Martin will be invited to attend the first meeting in March.

    Believe that one person can make a difference

    Believe that the entire world can be changed when we come together as Lions.

    Believe that changing a life - or the world - starts with each one of us
