Clean up at Sweeps was a breeze. Everybody (except me) pitched in, and it was completed in not time flat.
Before the event, we all were concerned with economy and all the negatives out there can we break even?? Net profit $16,791. How did we do it? New ideas for fund raising Everyones effort to sell tickets, particularly new Lions and Lions to be. Everyone’s input to pull the program together, particularly the leadership of Lion Dennis, Lion Steve. Great job by all.
September Meeting 6:30 PM September 12, 2011 Chef Klaus’s, 679 N LaGrange, Frankfort Celebration of the Sweeps Success. Lions, guests and all who participated in making this success are invited. Up Coming Events:
September 15,16 & 17 Race Days Lion Denise Race Days at Chciagoland Race track in Joliet. October 7-8 Candy Day Lion Sue directing 815-474-5475 October 22, Strides Walk for Diabetes Awareness, Lincoln Way High School. Lion Joe Rohaly directing 815-469-6998
Frankfort JCCS’s Haunted House, located in the strip mall just North of the exit from LWN on Harlem. This is the JCC’s big fund raiser and they need our support. It may be a substantial Lions fund raiser. The House will be in operating each Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening in October . They will need 4-5 Lions to staff it each night. How much can we do is the question considering all the other October activities. Under discussion. Closing thought: With all the October activities, when considering if we are putting too much demand on our time, don’t forget to consider how much more we can do for the needy with these funds. Hope to see you Monday evening.

Reasons to Be A Proud Frankfort Lions
2010 Frankfort Lions “Business as usual, helping others”.
This year’s economic problems created challenges and it seems, opportunities for the Frankfort Lions.
Responding to the economic problems, the requests for food baskets have increased and we have responded almost doubling the number distributed and increased the food supplied to families. Lions Al & Donna ram rod this program.
“Strides for Diabetes awareness” with LWE’s cooperation was a great success. Net income $2,500 to be distributed to American Diabetes Assoc, Juvenile Diabetic Assoc and LOI to help fund a bus to diagnose Diabetic Retinopathy. Thanks Lion Joe.
Several local business have approached Frankfort Lions offering to help raise funds to support our activities. Communities have ask us to support their parades and activities.
Chicagoland Speedway was a new experience, but a new endeavor to earn funds to “help others.” These added funds has helped fund many projects. Thanks to Lion Denise for identifying this opportunity.
We have our own webb site “Frankfortlionsclub.org” up and running. Check it out. Lion Joe
Our traditional fundraisers, Sweepstakes Dance, Candy Day & Sight & sound have all done much better than they have done in recent years. A special thanks to Lion Dennis, Lion Don and Lion Sue for their leadership and getting all the rest of us involved making these programs successful.
From Peace Posters by grade school children to helping put a ramp in for a disabled couple we were active throughout the community.
Have a great Holiday Season and a Happy Healthy New Year.
Lion Rod.
