Capreol Lions Celebration

Lion Robin – Gold Centennial Pin winner!
Lion Mario – Gold Centennial Pin winner
Lion Dorothy – Silver Centennial Pin winner

Congratulations go out to the Capreol Lions Club for being able to award three Centennial Pins to deserving members. President Dan had a busy night during the New Year Lions meeting, awarding three Centennial pins to members,  Lion Robin-gold, Lion Mario-gold, Lion Dorothy -silver

In 2017, Lions International celebrated the 100th anniversary of Lions serving their communities.

Centennial pins are being awarded to Lions who have sponsored a new member during the Centennial and those new members have continued to be active members of the Club.  The gold pin means the member sponsored has been active for 2 years while the silver pin is for the member for having been active for a year.

Bringing in new members is vital to a healthy Club and we hope to see some more people from the Capreol hopes to see even more new members from the Community join.

Onaping Falls Hosts Community Christmas Supper

The Onaping Falls Lions Club hosted their first free community Christmas supper for the residents of Onaping, Levack, Dowling and Cartier at the Dowling community centre.  Community groups joined the Lions donating items, helping to decorate, prepare and serve the wonderful meal.  Thank you community partners,   Knights of Columbus, Golden Age Club, Royal Canadian Legion, Roger’s Valu Mart, Kellys Restaurant, Falls Food and churches in the local area.

A bus was hired to transport people who had no other transporation from Levack and Onaping to the dinner.  Several vans brought those attending from Cartier.  More than 325 dinners were enjoyed by attendees, as well as 30 take-out meals for those not able to attend.

MPP France Gelinas, Mayor Brian Bigger and Ward 3 Councillor Gerry Montpellier attended.

Each person attending received a free penny table card for prizes.  The Onaping Falls Leos attended a craft table to entertain the younger set.  Santa didn’t fail to make an appearance and handed out surprise bags, candy canes and gifts to all of the children.

Leos have proved a valuable asset to the Onaping Falls LIons Club and played a huge part in the success of the evening.

Before the party started, the workers presented a surprise 80th birthday cake to Lion Bernadette Desbiens, mother of Lions Sylvia and Lorraine.

Shannon Findlay, Leo leader helping with the decorations.
Dinner enjoyed by all! A great evening.
