SISTER ALBAN AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE
DEADLINE: Monday, May 6
The nominee does NOT have to be a resident of Calumet City, but he or she must have demonstrated over a significant period of time -- and on a volunteer basis -- the desire, dedication and ability to assist city residents, address their needs, make living conditions better . . . perhaps even putting a smile on their faces. We're looking for the spirit of unselfish service to others that Sister Alban displayed for so many years.

Award Presentation: Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Hi Lions,
Just a reminder that our next meeting will be our Annual Awards Night. This will take place on Tuesday, May 14th at 6:30pm at the VFW. This special evening will honor outstanding teachers, public servants, community volunteers and scholarship recipients who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and commitment in their respective roles. It promises to be a meaningful and inspiring occasion to recognize the hard work and contributions of individuals who make a positive impact in our community. If you plan on attending, please let me know by Tuesday, May 7th. The success of this event is due to many lions who have contributed their time and expertise to identify and gather our honorees. Thank you to those who have helped to make this special night possible.
I would also like to echo Lion Andrew's email from last week to remind everyone that our raffle drawing will take place this Friday, May 10th at the VFW. We will have appetizers at 7 and the drawing will be at 8. All members and ticket buyers are welcome. If you have any outstanding tickets, please contact Lion Andrew. Kudos to everyone one who sold tickets this year and to Lion Andrew for all of his hard work.
Lastly, a big thank you to Lion Robert Hubbird who organized another fantastic mystery trip. This year's mystery trip brought us to Bourbon Street where we traveled back in time and danced all night to an excellent Motown band. Before the show we also enjoyed food, a few beverages, and wonderful hospitality from Lions Leo and Maria. A great time was had by all!
I hope to see you all at the upcoming events, please do not forget to RSVP for the awards night. Have a great week!

Please keep Lion Dave in your thoughts and prayers.
Just Wondering:
-- How do you get off a non-stop flight?
-- How come noses run and feet smell?
-- Why is it called a TV set when there's only one?
-- Why do we put cups in the dishwasher and dishes in the cupboard?
