Onaping Falls Lions Club Induct 8 New Members

The Onaping Falls Lions is at it again. With the lifting of co-vid restrictions, they decided to celebrate their “comeback” in a big way. They held an induction ceremony to bring in another 8 new members to their club, two of these new members are graduates from the Leos Club. In total, the club has added 16 new members to their ranks. You may not think that is a large number, but to a District that has clubs ranging from 6-45 members each, this is a huge deal. Also pictured here is the Leo’s mascot, 5 year old Ellie who is planning to become a Leo as soon as she is old enough. Our future District Governor, in a few years. Congratulations to Onaping Falls Lions on winning the District A5 Membership Growth award for all of your hard work bringing in new members.

80th Birthday Celebration at Minnow Lake Lions

Recently the Minnow Lake Lions Club celebrated an 80th birthday for one of their members. Lion Leanne Furchner (the lady in yellow) is shown celebrating with her family and Lions family at their den. It is hard to believe this lovely lady is 80, she sure doesn’t look like it. She is one of the hardest working lions they have in their club.
