The Bluffton Lions Club met on Tuesday, Sept 5 with District Governor Terry Marker installing the 2023-2024 officers.
The meeting was opened by President Don Smith, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance by Past President Jim Ottjes, God Bless America by guest Mrs. Lowell Tillman and Prayer offered by Ottjes. After the minutes, the financial report and information about upcoming events were presented to the club members, a meal and fellowship followed. A new idea had been brought up to plant a tree in the Lions Club name. The club is saving plastic caps and plastic medicine bottles to have made into park benches. Caps can be turned into the lion’s club meetings at Milli’s Restaurant on the 1st or 3rd of the month, contact Past IPCC Jerry Ziegler at 437-8183 or use the drop bag on the porch at 1121 Ridgewood Lane in Bluffton.
We will host gues speaker, fellow Lion member Dr. Christina Williams, for the Foundation “Rebuilding Lives Inc.” at an upcoming meeting.
An anonymous donor gave $1,000 to the Lions for the Maui cleanup and humanitarian efforts. The club also received a $50 check for the Cancer Control program from Dean Engle in memory of his wife Rita Engle who passed away from cancer.
