Calling all Veterans!

The Jordaness Lions, along with the Jordan High School and the Jordan Middle School, are hosting a Veterans Day program on Monday, November 11th at the Jordan High School to honor and show respect to our local veterans.                                                

If you are a veteran and have been invited to the Jordan Veterans Day program in the past, you are most likely on our mailing list and do not need to contact the planning committee.  If you or the veteran you wish to have invited has never been invited to the program or do not receive an invitation in the mail by October 18th please contact Lion Wanda Breimhorst, 216 Juergens Circle, Jordan, MN 55352 or email to wjbreim@comcast.net.   It is our sincere goal to honor all those in our community who served in the Armed Forces. 

Looking for a new social group? Want to help the community? Then the Jordaness Lions are for you! We are looking for new members and will be holding our Lions 101 on October 23rd  2019. Come and learn about the LIONS Organization and the Jordaness Lions. Ladies of all ages are welcome to join us at Brentwood Court, 5:30 Social hour, 6:00 Dinner and the program at 6:30.

We are planning a fabulous year with tons of fun! In July we had our joint meeting and picnic with the Jordan Lions. As always, a great night at Lagoon Park, good food and conversation. On Monday, August 5th, we held the 41st  5M2 Jungle Days Golf Tournament at CreeksBend Golf course. There were 14 teams, with 78 participants from the community and 5M2 Lions Clubs. The weather held, only a few raindrops, we were  fortunate considering the storms all around the area that day. There was a great meal after the tournament, terrific raffle items and fun for all involved. The 1st Place men’s team was Scott Allar, Jake Pieper, Thomas Gutzmer, and Luke Rynda. 1st Place Women’s went to Amy Piotrowski, Kari Heil, Angie Newton, and Mary Draheim. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the MN Lions Childhood Cancer Foundation Inc., Lions Hearing Foundation and Jordaness Lions community projects. A HUGE Thank You to all the tournament sponsors, CreeksBend Golf Course and the participants. On August 14th, the Jordan Lions teamed up with the Jordaness Lions, friends and family to take in a St. Paul Saints baseball game. It was a beautiful evening and lots of fun and friendship. Ladies, if you like to have fun, meet new people and support your community, come and check us out! We meet on the second Wednesday of the month, 6:30pm, at the Jordan Fire Station.
