BUSINESS/BOARD MEETING
The May Business/Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday evening May 5th at 7 PM. We will meet in our usual meeting room at the Scotia Methodist Church. We will be discussing many of the details related to the items in this newsletter including: The Tree Farm Project, Ladies Night Celebration, Sporting Clays Fundraiser, and our June Picnic in the Lions Pavilion in Collins Park. So you can see there is much to discuss. Please try to be there. It only takes an hour of your time, perhaps an hour and fifteen minutes, but we need everyone’s input.
PREVIOUS APRIL 7TH DINNER MEETING
Lion Kermit provided a very tasty dinner of Chicken Marsala, oven roasted potatoes, a tossed salad and Lion Irene provided us with an absolutely scrumptious cake and chocolate brownies. We were unable to use the usual firehouse location because it is being used to store equipment and other materials from the Beukendaal Firehouse on Sacandaga Road which is being renovated and expanded. We were able to use a room across the hall from our usual meeting room, for the dinner, at the Methodist Church. Several members showed up early to set up tables and to help Lion Kermit lay out the food for serving. Various beverages were included and everyone seemed satisfied. The dinner meeting was preceded by an organizational meeting, at 6 PM, to plan for the Clay Sports fundraiser. The following members were present at the April 7th meetings: Lions Steve, Tony, Bob V., Bob D, Irene, Doug, Kermit, Mark, Eric, Al, Mary Pat and two members from the Duanesburg Lions Club. Lion Eric provided brochures describing the event and Steve Borst, owner of Target Sports in Glenville explained how the event would be run. This would be run much like a Golf Tournament and would include a raffle, prizes and lunch. Registration would begin at 9 AM followed by a safety talk and tutorial and at 10 AM we would begin moving through the various stations. Participants would be split into teams of 6 and each team would start at the same time; a true “Shot Gun” start. There would be at least one experienced shooter in each group. It will take 1-1/2 hours to complete the target shooting and then lunch would be served. The lunch would consist of hamburgers, hotdogs,
