Remer Northland Lions a special group
To the Editor,
The Lions are an exceptional group. Sometimes they work quietly and then they ROAR when they need help. As a relatively new member I'm constantly reminded of their love and generosity to the city and surrounding townships. Coming from the Big Cities I never felt the joy of a community, Yes, the people in the cities are very generous too but here it is more personalized, you know your neighbors.
Many Lions work quietly - involving themselves in over 10 or more projects.
Hooked on fishing for the 4th graders is always a fun get together for the lions and kids in the spring. Rods, reels, bait and lunch are supplied for all.
The LIONS love it. It's kind of a guy thing for the kids but the women are also involved. Untying the lines that go every where is the most fun. Lunch, you guessed it are fish donated by some pretty neat guys from Remer. $2500 is donated for this project alone each year.
We take our time each spring and fall to clean highways. Really not so fun when the tics are out. Hopefully this yr. the tics and the trash are lighter on the Hyws. Thanks guys.
Many causes and projects are given our help throughout the year.
The food shelf is helped every month by $300.00 and an extra 200.00 in Dec. This year $500.00 was given to the school for a science project.
$500.00 was given to the Harvest Church for glasses to take to the 3rd world countries.$300 was given to the depot monthly to keep things going (like heat).The Lions Int. were given $300 each for eleven projects. Why we are needed. We also help those who have emergencies they can't handle financially and pay for gas, heat etc...Please continue playing bingo come spring and support the meat raffles. It all makes life easier for the people who live here. We'd love to have new faces and helpers from the community and townships. On Jan.16th the 3rd Mon. of the month is our next meeting at 6:00 pm. It is held at the Woodsman in Remer. Please call our Pres. Gary Selinsky at 566-2264 -- We are a fun Group.
Blessings to all for your generosity of time, services and donations.[[In-content Ad]]
