UPCOMING EVENTS
Meetings now available via Zoom. If you can’t attend in person, you can now join Club meetings via Zoom. Just let Lion Talbot (skate475@comcast.net) know your phone number so he can include you in the invitation list. It’s not as good as being physically present but is a good way to stay connected if you cannot physically attend.
Richmond Lions have been busy serving the last several weeks. District 25F received an LCIF Emergency $15,000 grant to assist with flood relief in the district. In addition, a $1500 grant was received from Indiana Lions. Working with Williamsburg Lions, we were able to donate dehumidifiers, fans and garden hoses to assist with the recovery process in Williamsburg and Cambridge City. Richmond Lions R. Smith, Talbot, Buckland and I. Smith delivered dehumidifiers, fans and garden hoses to Cambridge City. PDG Jeff Locke and Williamsburg Lions Club President Jim George delivered dehumidifiers and fans to Williamsburg. As of yesterday, September 21st, both Williamsburg and Cambridge City had ceased accepting donations. It is estimated our area utilized approximately $5,000.00 of the grant money for flood relief in our area. Thanks to the following who assisted in this process: DG Brenda Wilson, PCC Sue Toft, PDG Ken Faulkner and Lion Bill McDonald, Indiana Lions Preparedness and Disaster Planning Chair. Lion Bill did a lot of the footwork to order supplies at the best price and then transport them to Richmond. Thanks to all the Richmond Lions who made themselves available to help, although due to scheduling were unable to help with the actual delivery.
Pictured in photos are Lions Ron Smith, Jack Buckland, Mike Talbot and Andy Smittcamp delivering fans to the Cambridge City Christian Church who is coordinating the flood:
