Christmas in July

The city of Idaho Springs sponsored a Christmas in July event. This provided a good opportunity for the club.

Lions Mary and Barb raised the tent (with a little help from nearby friends) and raised Lions Awareness and money for the Social Salvation Orphanage of Nepal. 

Peace Poster Contest

The Lions' Peace Poster Contest is open to young people. 

The Clear Creek Rock House provides local teens a safe, supervised place where they can recreate and receive life skills training from caring adults. The Rock House does this through mentoring, tutoring, after-school programs and events.

So our club invited the Rock House teens to join in.

Here is Lion Mike engaging the kids, and telling them about our Lions Club....

...letting them know about our service to the community… our yearly scholarship that they can apply for some day.  Director Cheryl Holmberg had them tell us about what they do for the community and what programs and adventures are available to them through the Rock House.

Lions Mike, Jack, Carolyn, Barb, Brandi, Mary, Vicky and Sandy were on hand to help feed the group, including Cheryl and Three staff members.

After eating, the Peace Poster Contest supplies were laid out - with a variety of mediums for creating a piece of artwork with the theme.
