We were saddened to hear that Lion Floyd Johnson passed away on Friday, May 30. Lion Floyd joined our Club in 1991 and has been an active volunteer and friend ever since. We miss you, Lion Floyd.

Thanks to all those who turned out for our annual Lions Plant Sale May 16 - 18. The weather didn't cooperate very well but there were still a lot of hardy souls who  purchased the wonderful selection of plants. Thanks to Bailey's Nursery for donating the perennials. Thanks to all the Club Members who volunteered to set up, staff and take down the sale. 

It was a beutiful day for our Club to volunteer at Tour De Cure, an event raising money for diabetes, on May 31. Thanks to those who were up early for 7 a.m. set up of our rest stop and staffed it until early afternoon. 

Our next Joy Park Neighborhood Preserve monitoring will take place  on Saturday, June 14. Join us for a pleasant nature walk and the rewards of assuring this public treasure is clean and safe. We gather at 10 a.m. in the Joy Park parking lot across the street from the Preserve.

We collect used eyeglasses! They are truly the "gift of sight" to people in third world countries. In fact, we collected 4,375 pairs last year! If you've got old eyeglasses to contribute, drop them in a collection box at your local optical shop or call any Lion!
