Conroe Noon Lions are having an action-packed Summer and never let the heat stop us from giving back! Our lunch meeting on Wednesday was full of surprises and opportunities to greet old friends and meet new ones. The program was presented by the Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce.
Chamber staff members Pauline Veazey and Steve Scheffler, and Chairperson Jennifer Millington “shook things up” by teaching us Chamber information through a fun and competitive game of Trivia. The Lions like nothing better than a little friendly competition! The winning team had an almost perfect score thanks to wise team member Lion Donnie Buckalew. Lions are life-long-learners and are always anxious to hear about ways to care for our community. We received updates concerning what has been happening and alerts for what’s coming up in the future.
We want to Congratulate our ‘Lions of the Month’! A big round of applause for Lions Ed Roth and Michelle Greif; your dedication and hard work does not go unnoticed.
The Blood Drive committee extended a BIG thank you to everyone who donated blood at the Summer Blood Drive on July 24. Because of your generous donations, 85 lives were saved. You truly make a difference!
Hannah Medley and Morgan Freeman showed a fantastic video recap of the first year for the Leo Club. Participating High School students from local schools, including home schoolers, from around the community have had an action-packed year. They performed numerous service projects, having fun together and learning what it means to be a Lion.
Lion Andrew Perry let us know that Service Saturday is this Saturday, August 3rd at Reaves Elementary. NOTE the time change: we will be meeting from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Let’s make an impact in our adopted Elementary School. We will be helping the staff prepare the school for the children to arrive in a few short weeks.
PLUS – speaking of Reaves, we’ll be collecting school supplies to help students prepare for the upcoming school year. If you’re out and about grab some colors, pencils, paper, folders, etc and bring to the club meetings over the next 2-weeks we’ll have a box to collect, and the committee will deliver to the school.
This week’s quote goes hand in hand with “True Grit” that President Bryan keeps mentioning. “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they have the heart”. Lions’ willingness to make time for others has always stood out. Where there’s a need there has truly been a Lion. Let’s show our true grit as Lions over the next few months as our schedules fill up.
