The Roar

As mentioned in previous articles, the Land O’Lakes Lions Club is a Service Club. On April 12th, after the dedication of the Friendship Arch, we invited Art Restorer Ray Charbonneau to be our first guest at our Speakers’ Forum. There were approximately 100 attendees. All in all a great success. On the 2nd Wednesday of each month through to September we will have a new expert to talk about a variety of topics. The next one, on May 10th, will be Cayla Darling - Ecologist and risk environmentalist specializing in endangered flora and fauna. She will also talk about turtles. Cayla replaces Garry Smith, Geologist, who was supposed to be speaking about historic mines in the Flinton area fallen ill. We are arranging for these professionals to offer information that might be of interest to our community. This a free service and we just ask that you register as seats are limited. www.eventbrite.ca

On another note, we are busy preparing for our Spring Extravaganza Craft Sale. This will give local artisans a place to show and sell their creations. It will be held in the Hall on Saturday May 6th between 10-2pm.

Start going through and gathering up your no longer needed treasures and donate them to our Spring Yard Sale. The Sale will start at 9-1 on Saturday May 13th. Drop your items off by Friday the 12th.

Also in the works is our upcoming Fundraiser the Guide Dog Walk to be held on Sunday May 28th....more information in the next Roar.
