Thank you notes
Aurora Health Care Foundation – Besides
the thank you last month from Julie Davids
of the Oshkosh Ice Hawks, Aurora sent a
thank you for the $100 in memory of Robin
Werner to support the Vince Lombardi
Cancer Clinic at Aurora Medical Center.
Marge Werner – Thank you clubs for the
beautiful hanging plant. Lioness Barb said it
was long overdue since I had surgery in
January and my back feels good. It does
make for a good feeling when a person is
remembered and surprised!
Park Reservations - Call Lion Walt (688-2496) for details.
Greetings Lions and Lioness! Thank you to everyone that really worked hard at the Country
Breakfast! At first count, we served more than last year. The community is definitely behind us, so
we need to be present and supportive of the community's needs as they arise! Good job fellow Lions
& Lioness! That's the Lions' spirit! And right around the corner is the Lion's Walleye Tournament!
And on it goes! Someone told me once it is better to burn out than rust out! Not that we want burn outs,
but keeping busy is what we do best! Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend; remember what we're celebrating;
those that served our country to preserve our freedoms and standard of living. Thank you to all of our
veterans! God Bless! Enjoy, keep safe and let's kick off summer! In Lionism......Barb
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
CHIPS SPREAD ON PLAYGROUND AND
SAND SPREAD ON VOLLEYBALL AND BASEBALL FIELD
Submitted by Lion Gary and Lion Walt
I think a special thank you should go to Wally's excavating crew for their help and equipment. Without their
bobcat it would have been a really big job. The entire project was done in 4 1/2 hour, clean up included. Then
the next week 10 yards of chips were delivered the day before Country Breakfast and the crew had them
spread by about 9:00. On Saturday, May 9th, Lion Gary and Lion Walt were the only two Lions who showed up
to spread the chips, sand on both the volleyball court and baseball field. Walt's son and family, Chris, Lisa,
Jaxson and Wesley and Matt Juedes helped on that Saturday along with the volunteers listed in Lion President
Walt's letter. Also lending a hand on the 16th were Lion Dan Barnes and Walt's employee, Dana Weisnicht. If
we missed listing you, we apologize and you certainly deserve a big thank you also. Thank you to all. This
was a different job than the normal that is done around the park. The whole park looks good. No wonder
people keep calling to use the park. It is a great facility.
