Lion Denise Lenz is asking for help on Sunday January 22, 2012 to run the games at the Breidert Green. She has three games set up, hopefully there will be enough snow to play them: Two on one Hockey, Sled racing, and Punt and Pass.
Lion Denise needs six helpers. If more than six Lions show up they can join the kids and play the games.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 3,400 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 57 trips to carry that many people.

A message from the International President Wing-Kun Tam, copied from the December 2011 Lions International website.
| Dear Lion,First of all, in this season of belief, let me offer best wishes to all my fellow Lions, their loved ones, friends and families.We have come a long way in five months. My belief in the power of what every Lion can do to change the world is as strong as ever.The early success of our campaign to plant 1 million trees makes me both proud and so humble. Whether it’s planting trees in lands scarred by the tsunami in Japan or tornadoes in the United States, or planting trees to restore our planet’s critical forests in Africa or South Asia, we have succeeded in unifying Lions all over the world. These acts of service are fun and rewarding to do. They bring clubs together and bring smiles to ourselves and to people in the communities we serve.Through mid-November, together we planted more than 5.7 MILLION trees in more than 60 countries. Isn’t that amazing?
Some Lions ask me if I will set another target.I politely say “no” because I believe the target lies in each of our hearts. It is the Lions who determine how far we go and how many trees we plant. Every tree counts, even if you can plant only one. Every member matters, too. Planting trees is certainly good for the environment. But to me, it’s also a strong symbol of our association’s commitment to the future and a reason to invite friends, families and others to join us in making it happen. You see, if we as Lions can identify the right tree saplings, plan them in the right place, and take care of them – then certainly we can also invite a new member, give them a meaningful role in our club, and nurture them like we would a member of the family. This is why I am also proud and humbled by Lions’ response to this year’s “My Club, My Family” initiative. We have strong membership growth this year, exceeding a 16,000 net gain through mid-November. But inviting new members is easy; treating them as if they were family and involving them in meaningful service will ensure they stay. So my fellow Lions, with all we have done in five months, I am now happy to say that “I Believe” has clearly transformed into “We Believe.”It’s because of you and your belief in what we can do. Your belief, and more importantly, your actions, have given me the greatest gift of all as your international president. Consider this special issue a holiday gift to all Lions. The story’s message is that Lions are indeed a precious gift to our communities.May the warm glow of family be part of your regular household and your Lions club as you believe in our great service mission. Sincerely, Wing-Kun Tam International President |
