CLUB ACTIVITY
DG VISITATION MEETING: DG Marty Zimmerman spoke at our Feb 5th meeting and provided an interesting and humorous presentation. He was rewarded with a gift of $660.00 for District Projects.
PANCAKE JAMBOREE: Off to a slow start at opening-guess the cold and wind had everyone sleeping in. About 9am things picked up and it looked like we had our usual incoming line. The final figures aren’t available now, but maybe by meeting night or next newsletter for sure. At closing time we had a surplus which was handled at the time. A donation of 50 pounds of sausage and 6 gallons of orange juice was donated to Bethesda Mission. Our cost was $218.20 which will reduce our revenue from the event. Over all, the jamboree went well, plenty of help and a big Lions ROARRRR to all who helped, particularly to the youths who seemed to have boundless energy.
SORT & PACK PARTY: Thanks to Denny Bell, Steve Nailor, Serene Kumler, Tammy Gobbel, Sherry McGettigan, Carl Winfield, and Don Brown for packing 1900 pairs of eyeglasses on 2/10 for a total of 12 Manhours. These will be submitted to the District along with 2,529 hearing aids. Great Job, LIONS!
Also, thanks to Miracle Ear of Camp Hill for donating the hearing aids.
TRIVIA: The February question asked why Roy G Biv is known worldwide? Simply because ‘ROYGBIV’ is an acronym for the sequence of hues commonly described as making up a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. March question: What famous present-day filmmaker received his middle name because of the car company that sponsored the radio show where his father worked?
MODERN TIMES: A bargain is anything that costs no more than it did the previous week.

CLUB ACTIVITY:
CHRISTMAS TREE SALES: We met our budgeted guesstimate of $7500! The actual amount was $7531. A big thanks to those who made it happen.
CHRISTMAS PARTY: A last minute change in meeting place due to miscommunication we still had a nice turn-out and great meal at the Gathering Place in Mechanicsburg. A local group provided musical entertainment following dinner. Even Santa’s little helper (Lois Miller) has recovered well enough to send a present for all. She promises to attend the next meeting.
PANCAKE JAMBOREE: February 24 th at Trinity Lutheran Church, 2000 Chestnut St, Camp Hill. Members can pick up their tickets at the next meeting. Workers schedule will also be available. Additional tickets will also be available for our super salespersons.
TRIVIA: Last Month’s question, for what purpose was the ice cream cone invented? There are several versions, but the one I first saw is the more interesting version. A vendor at the St. Louis Fair introduced the ice cream cone on July 23, 1904. He simultaneously gave an ice cream sandwich and a bouquet of flowers to the young lady he was escorting to the Fair. Not having anything in which to place the flowers, she rolled one of the wafers from the sandwich into a cone to act as a temporary vase for the flowers. Likewise, the other wafer was rolled to form a container for the ice cream. There had been other uses for waffle containers covered in sugar, or filled with jelly or other sweets, but this was the first known use of a cone to hold ice cream. There were over 50 ice cream vendors at the fair and numerous waffle vendors, but the one sure known fact is that following the fair the use of cones to hold ice cream spread across the country. Next month’s question: What was the battle of the Atlantic?
SOMETHING NEW: At our 2023 Christmas Tree Sales, the wife of a member spent a lot of time
volunteering at the site. During a break she and our club secretary agreed to help each other with their community projects simply by just providing advertising the other’s events. The Camp Hill Women’s Club event is current.
Our next event is the Pancake Jamboree. Watch for a separate Special Bulletin featuring their event and with items of our past events.

MESSAGE FROM THE IMMEDIATE PAST PRESIDENT: I was sorry to learn we did not do the white Cane project. The only time we did not do it was during the pandemic. Are we ringing the bell for the Salvation Army? Good luck with the tree sales. Everybody can do something.
TRIVIA: Last month the question was based On the Christmas Classic, “A Christmas Story” and asked the name of Ralphie’s little brother. The answer is: Randy, played by Ian Petrella. Incidentally, you may remember Ralphie got his Red Ryder rifle and did not shoot his eye out. The actor playing Ralphie, Peter Billingsley, is now 52 years old, still does occasional acting, and is a successful film producer. The question for January is: “for what purpose was the ice cream cone invented?”
CHRISTMAS HUMOR:
How does Christmas Day end? With the letter Y.
What do you call a snowman who vacations in the tropics? A puddle.
Why did the snowman call his dog Frost? Because Frost bites.
Christmas wish. May the spirit of Christmas be with you and your family all year long.

CLUB ACTIVITY:
CHRISTMAS TREE SALES PROJECT. The sales area set up, fresh cutting and drilling equipment in place, display stands, lined up and lights hung all before Noon on Friday. Thanks to all helped with the site preparation. On Saturday, after trees were in stands, thirty-nine trees were sold in a shortened sales period. Helpers, particularly Cashiers are needed for weekday afternoons and evenings. This is a club project, and the help of all is needed to make it a profitable event. Non-lifting jobs include, sweeping the trimming area, making bunches of boughs for trimming, selling wreaths, and greeting customers.
ADOPT-A-HIGHWAY PROJECT. Our Oct 22nd clean-up had only five Lions and one volunteer, but still collected twelve bags of trash. Well done Lions Bill Bishop, Tammy Gobbel, Denny Bell, Carl Winfield, Maryellen Hettinger, and Volunteer For Life-Bruce Bigelow.
WHITE CANE DAY. Held on Oct 29th saw 8 Lions collecting $314.28 in donations for sight related projects. A big Lions Roar of appreciation to Lions Jo Bailey, Carl Winfield, Denny Bell, Don Brown, Sherri McGettigan, Tammy Gobbel, Maryellen Hettinger, and Steve Nailor.
SORT ‘N PACK PARTY. The Nov 5th event had the following Lions, Bill Bishop, Don Brown, Peggy Wright, Jim Donahue, Brian Musselman, Lois Miller, and Carl Winfield; sorting & packing 1425 pairs of glasses.
TRIVIA: Last month’s question was a bit tricky. The question asked, why is Thanksgiving celebrated on the 4th Thursday in November? [Prequel: The first Thanksgiving event when the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Indian tribe sat down for a 3-day feast of celebration. The actual date was never established. Historically the year was agreed to be 1621, but the date was never known to be recorded, and considered to be between September and November.] Answer: on October 6, 1941, the House passed a joint resolution declaring the last Thursday in November to be the legal Thanksgiving Day. The Senate, however, amended the resolution establishing the holiday as the fourth Thursday, which would consider those years when November has five Thursdays. December question is Christmas appropriate. What is the largest selling candy in the USA?

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: The COVID situation has gotten us off track n so many ways and it is time to get back to the ideals of the club. In past years it was an annual event that a Melvin Jones Fellowship was awarded to a deserving Lions in recognition of his/her service. Our account with International would allow us to use funds to obtain a MJF award for a member. This will be discussed at a future board meeting. Members, feel free to let any board member know your feelings on this matter.
PRESIDENT’S COMMENT: President Jo would like to thank all Lions who called, offered food, prayers and help during her recent illness.
TRIVIA: Last month’s question asked what natural food, if stored properly will not expire? The answer is honey. For August the question asks: Where were the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights stored during World War II? Closet or vault is NOT the answer.
If you can’t remember my name, just say, “Doughnuts” I’ll turn around and look.

CLUB ACTIVITY:
MEETING TIME: There was some confusion about our meeting time, some members felt the new 6PM time was intended to be only for the restaurant and when the summer outdoor cookout meetings began, we would go back to our former 6:30PM meeting time. The decision is to have the 6PM start for all regularly scheduled meetings.

MEMORIAL DAY EVENT: A big thanks to all the Lions who worked the hot dog sale on Memorial Day. We learned Monday night that the hotdogs alone cost 56 cents each. Needless to say, we will not be selling them for 50 cents next year. But we did break even for the event. Also, thanks to Bob Harvey of Mechanicsburg for driving his yellow sport convertible for our club in the parade.

LOOKING AHEAD: Our usual Pancake Jamboree will be rescheduled to March for 2023 due to a scheduling conflict at the venue. Further ahead, an order has been placed for Christmas trees and down payment made.
TRIVIA: Last month’s question asked for the name of the first “talkie” to be released in color. The answer sought is, “The Wizard of Oz”. Some thought it was “Gone With the Wind”, but Oz was released on August 8, 1939, while GWTW’s release date was December 15, 1939. Next month’s question: What natural food, if properly sealed will not expire?

TRIVIA: Last month the question asked what common household convenience was so large it was horse driven. The answer goes back to when horse drawn wagons were used to deliver chunks of ice cut from frozen ponds to homes where all conceivable containers were used to chill food products. This led to the wagons being insulated to keep the ice from melting. The idea spread to the development of ice boxes and with the development of electricity in the homes to the modern electric refrigerators and freezers. That was a tough one, so for June an easier one. What was the first “talkie” (motion picture) to be released in Color?
It’s not my age that bothers me, it’s the side effects.

CLUB ACTIVITY:
CHRISTMAS TREE SALES PROJECT: Another good money raiser even in the worst of times.The weather was, for the most part, kind, no snow, some rain, and on the cold side, but with our good work crew and some volunteers we persevered. A total of 344 trees were sold. The expenses were a little higher than estimated and some minor bills may be yet to come, but we should still net $5000.00 profit, which will be a major portion of our income for future service projects. A BIG LIONS ROAR for all who helped setting up and dismantling the sales site, moving trees, loading customers’ vehicles, sweeping the sales area, and just being a good volunteer.
CHRISTMAS DINNER: On December 20th, twenty-eight Lions and guests attended the dinner at the Grateful Goat Brewing and Provisions Restaurant. No entertainment, just a good meal with great service and time for actual in person conversation with friends.
SCHOLARSHIP: A new scholarship has been established from a gift to our club from the GuldenFamily. The Dr. Richard L. Gulden Community Service Scholarship will provide a $1000.00 Scholarship each year for 5 years to a different, worthy student from Camp Hill High School who has a record of performing community service. Our Scholarship Community along with the Gulden family will determine the recipient, who may choose which college the award will be used. This will be separate from the club’s own scholarship which specifies that the award may be applied only to HACC.
TRIVIA: Last month’s question asked for the bestselling Christmas recording (non-hymn) and the artist. White Christmas and Bing Crosby were mentioned several times, but the correct
Answer is, “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and Mariah Carey in 1994 and ranked as Diamond.
Side note, Bing Crosby’s 1942 recording of “White Christmas” and was ranked Gold. The question
was a bit misleading, so everyone gets a point. The new question should be a breeze for the football
fans-who was the MVP for the first Superbowl?
As the year closes it is time to look forward to a new, bright and healthy future for all.
Have a safe and Happy New Year.

CLUB ACTIVITY
CHRISTMAS TREE SALES PROJECT: On Friday November 24, ten Lions started the event rolling during freezing cold to get the sales area and lights in place.

Gift to the Club: The family of the late Lion Richard “Doc” Gulden presented a check for $5000.00 to be used for scholarships for worthy students with a history of performing community service and a gift of $1000 for our club’s use. The scholarships will be known as the Dr. Richard L Gulden Community Service Scholarship. It will be separate from our existing scholarship for a student attending HAAC.
A $50.00 donation to the Fredricksen Library was approved.
TRIVIA: Last month’s question asked when was the first Thanksgiving Day NFL game and who won? Anyone who answered, “Thanksgiving Day and the team with the most points” is subject to a special fine at our next meeting. The correct answer is November 11, 1934, between the 12 & 6 Chicago Bears and the 10 & 2 Detroit Lions. Final score Bears 19-16. Next month’s question is what is the bestselling (non-hymn) single (record), and who was the artist?
HO HO TIME: There’s nothing like Christmas to put a little bounce in your checks.

MEMBERS:
LOSS OF A TREASURE: As reported in an earlier Special Bulletin, David Killius passed away on September 9th. Recent information indicates he suffered a medical emergency and did not survive. He was a reliable member and officer of this club, most recently as the Treasurer, and also served as a member of the District 14-C cabinet. He was a Past President and a Melvin Jones Fellow. The club has few members that worked as hard on all events as David, he will be greatly missed. No details on final arrangements are available at this time.
CONDOLENCES to the family of “Cook” Hostetter”. A long-time member, Past President and a Melvin Jones Fellow passed away September 1, 2021. Memorial services will be at 11am on Saturday October 2, 2021, at Mt. Calvary Episcopal Church, Camp Hill.

BEST WISHES for a speedy recovery to Al & Adeline DeAngelo who are bit ‘under the weather’. A card would be a nice way to brighten their day.
TRIVIA: The September question asked, “in April 1996 what occurrence was measured at 253 mph?” No, it had nothing to do with an automobile or aircraft. On April 10, 1996, a weather station on Barrow Island, Australia measured a wind gust of 253 mph during tropical cyclone Olivia. Amazingly, only 1 serious injury on the island, a man had to airlifted for treatment from flying glass, 9 others had minor injuries from this storm. For October the question asks when was the last time there was a full moon on Halloween? Bonus points for answering when will be the next time this will occur?

FROM THE DEN:
NEW PROJECT: Members need to save Lion Magazines for Lion Carl’s new project, preparing Prospective member kits.
ZOOM Meeting Invitation: If you are wondering why Jim Donahue keeps inviting you to join a ZOOM meeting, it is not because he has formed his own Lions Club. Our club purchased a ZOOM License to facilitate conducting club business without meeting in person. Jim graciously volunteered his time and equipment to schedule the meetings and provide the information necessary to advise membership when and how to join a meeting.
LION Hospitalized: We have learned that Lion Cook Hostetter has become the club’s first COVID patient. Best wishes for recovery.

The club’s Christmas Extravaganza had the largest ZOOM participation to date. A total of 16 joined in the event.
TRIVIA: Last month the question was the original name for the Seasonal “The Little Drummer Boy”. There was a bonus question to name the most popular Christmas Carol.
Answer: Original title was “Carol of the Drum”. Bonus question, name the most popular Christmas Carol: Depends who was asked. The only recognized poll I found was by the New York Library. when in 2016 proclaiming “Deck the Halls” as the most popular. For February the question is: As of December 21, 2020, our club has how many Melvin Jones Fellowship recipients? Current and past secretaries are barred from this question.

TRIVIA: October’s question: Who is credited with giving the first presidential pardon to a Thanksgiving turkey?” Answer: Some say Abe Lincoln began the tradition, other say Truman or Reagan, but it was George H. W. Bush who used the term ‘pardon” when sparing the traditional turkey’s life. Next month’s question is: Traditionally, how does the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade end?

There will be no billing for dues for the 2019 July-September period.
FLIGHT 93 NATIONAL MEMORIAL: The club is considering a one-day bus trip to the Flight 93 site in lieu of our usual mystery trip. Lion Carl is doing the planning and would need to know how many members would plan to take part. The 2 dates under consideration are September 28 or October 12, leaving at 9:00AM, and returning home around 5:00PM. This would be a Ladies included event. There would be a lunch break following the visit to the site. Lunch would be each person’s responsibility. Depending on response we would use a 38 passenger or a 47 passenger bus. Cost would be $37 or $32 per person depending on the bus utilized. Please let Lion Carl know if you would be interest in going, how many with you and date preference. The sooner you respond the soon the details can be finalized.
