Amanda Bunch Scholarship Dinner a Success!
On March 10, 2012 Spokane Central Lions held a dinner and silent auction to raise funds for support of the Amanda Bunch Scholarship. This event is a fundraiser for scholarships for third or fourth-year nursing students who plan to specialize in oncology and/or pediatrics. Since 2007, the fund has distributed $7,500 in memory ofLion Bill Bunch's daughter Amanda, who passed away in December 2006 at age 18 from
leukemia. In addition to having a great time together as Lions and friends around $5000.00 was raised for this worthy cause.
Many Spokane Central Lions enjoyed time together and having the opportunity to support the Amanda Bunch Scholarship like Lion Jerry Williams was doing here. If you would like to participate in this project to help nursing students email sclions@gmail.com.

CAMP FOUR ECHOES CENTRAL LIONS WORK PARTY
WORK PROJECT APRIL 14, 2012
Spokane Central Lions after a lapse of two years once again went to Camp Four Echoes Girl Scout Camp to help get the camp ready for spring and summer use. The weather gave Lions an absolutely beautiful day!
The Lions cleaned and sanitized the inside of the individual sleeping cabins and cleaned up the debris that had fallen from the trees and brush around the camp. Shelving was provided in the storage pole building for lumber. Lumber was moved and stacked on the shelving. Miscellaneous items destined for Habitat for Humanity were loaded into a large trailer allowing for more space for storage in the building. The last remaining tent was set up. At one time in the camp’s history there were over thirty tents that needed to be put up on the spring outing that took all day to accomplish in past years. Batteries were replaced in the smoke alarms found in all out buildings at the camp other than the new lodge. Fire wood was moved and stacked at the various camps so that the girls could enjoy their camp fires. Paper hand towels and toilet paper was supplied to all of the camp biffies. The door opener at Camp Sequoia sleeping cabin #3 was repaired.
Of course there was the great steak lunch that was served to all in the afternoon by Chef Dwayne. It was served outdoors so everybody could sit in the warm afternoon sun after a great work effort by all in the morning.
The following Lions and friends who made it a very successful day at Camp Four Echoes were as follows:
Dwayne Harney Bob Apple Dennis Woodhurst Michael Eberle
Jeff Snow Fr. Ted Bradley Roger Arleth Larry Domrese
Bill Bunch Cliff Miller Roger lake Nancy Domrese
John Wilson Lee Mellish Mike Fulton Jerry Williams
Bill Funk Howard Bergdoll Terry Otte Sandy Eberle
Jerry Johnson Bob Scheel Nichole Crosby Marty Eberle
