Lions Club International, through the Lions Foundation, has made a big impact on earthquake ravaged Haiti.

We have two new members and we have plans to enter a tree in the TI Museum’s Festival of Trees. An active Fall and Winter lays ahead. Here is a summary of current activities. To get the full story, come to the meetings.

Christmas Float. Float designer extraordinaire, Lion John Davis, has developed what is sure to be another winning float for this year’s parade. The theme is “Christmas on the River” and Lion John has come up with a plan for building a freighter, with Xmas tree, passing under the TI Bridge.
