Benevolence Fund
The Emmitsburg Lions have
set up an account at the F&M bank to
accept donations for the tragedy that
struck our nation on September 11, 2001.
Our club has donated $1,500.00 to this
fund whose purpose is to aid in the
disaster relief. Our hearts go out to the
families and friends of those that were
victims of this terrible act of terrorism
against the United States of America.
Community
Show
On September 7, 2001 our
club's President Lion Dale Sheilds
represented the Emmitsburg Lions and the
Emmitsburg community at the annual
Thurmount and Emmitsburg Community Show's
opening flag ceremony. Lion Dale proudly
carried the American Flag.
Community
day
We couldn’t have
asked for a more perfect day. The
Emmitsburg Lion's Community Day was warm
and sunny and not too hot. The Emmitsburg
Borderline 4x4 club did (as usual) a
great job of cooking all 650 chicken
dinners for our food tent. We were all
surprised when we sold the last of our
chicken dinners well before 1 p.m. With
all of our chicken dinners sold out so
early in the day, the 4X4 Club suggested
that we sell hamburgers to compliment our
hot dogs, soft drinks, and ice cream
sandwiches. Larry Little of the
Borderline 4X4 club organized his club's
members to procure additional supplies
and borrowed a charcoal grill to prepare
the hamburgers. By 2:30 p.m. the Lions
Club was selling freshly made hamburgers
and cheeseburgers. Before the night was
over the 4X4 club had prepared 300
hamburgers made available to our club's
food tent. A BIG THANK YOU to the
Emmitsburg Borderline 4x4 club for doing
such a great job. The hard work and
dedication of their club demonstrated
what our community day is all about.
Goodbye
to a Great Friend
On
September 13, 2001 Charter member Lion
Gene Rosensteel informed the Emmitsburg
Lions of his retirement from our club.
Lion Gene and his wife Sylvia will be
relocating to Pennsylvania. His fellow
Lion members will sorely miss him. Gene
has had perfect attendance for over 17
years and has held all administrative
offices within the club, most importantly
as our first president and as chairman of
the health fair commitee until only
recently. Gene is that kind of guy who
has always given 110% to the club and who
readily lent his hand and commanding
advice at every club function with his
extraordinary organizing skills and
leadership. You have served us well,
Gene. You are a true Lion!
