OCTOBER 1ST We’re trying to bring the fun into our Lions activities and what
could be more fun than a family picnic?
YOU ARE A WINNER! |
Directions to Camp Tuhsmeheta are not too complicated. Only two turns after you find Greenville! The camp is 6 miles WEST of Greenville, Greenville is on M57 east of US131 You turn South on Lincoln Lake Road off M 57. Continue about one mile down Lincoln Lake Road where you will find Podunk Road dead ending on Lincoln Lake from the right. Turn left there on a pretty nice dirt road that will lead you directly to the Camp, about 2 miles in. Lead to the right at intersections and you will arrive at White Pine Lodge for our picnic. It’s a beautiful drive into the Camp. If the directions don’t sound very simple to you just give Lion Larry Alman, Greenville Lions Club a note on line at w8wr@charter.net or phone 1-616-754-9213 and you’ll get help. My expertise in not in directions! I will be there very early, about 9:30 a.m. and will have my cell phone on if you get lost or want to leave me a message. 1-231-730-6122.  The activities
for the day will start as people arrive so you can come anytime your schedule
will allow. Then break for tours as you wish and also continue the games & contests. We should be awarding the prizes no later than 3:00 p.m. or earlier if we are so inclined. NOTE: The children’s fishing prizes will be awarded as they fish and win! If we have inclement weather WE WILL NOT BE CANCELING. Everything can be done inside the White Pine Lodge and we’ll have a great time anyway. |

Help Our Soldiers Reach Out ToThe Children |
 |
| Since 1917, Lions Clubs have offered people
the opportunity to give something back to their Communities, from involving
members in local projects or far-reaching projects as bringing sight To
the World’s blind. Lions Clubs have always embraced those committed to
building a brighter Future for their community. Today with more than 46,000
clubs in 193 Countries and geographical areas, Lions have expanded their
focus to help meet the ever-increasing needs of our global community.
For Years the Lions have sold Mints to raise money to help their community meet sight and hearing conservation needs, extraordinary medical expenses, Emergency Disaster Relief, Activities for the disabled, and youth services. Today, We are asking you to help us send our Mints for the Soldiers, VA Hospitals, Children Hospitals, and the Children of Afghanistan and Iraq. |
