Hello Lions
As I am writing this message the weather finally turned cold and it sucks. I know everyone is looking forward to our Christmas Party and the chance to get together for a fun evening.
Thinking back when I was growing up before the term “Think green” was a term we heard almost daily. My parents had a Christmas tree that was about 3 to 4 feet tall and was loaded with lights. These were the old style 7 ½ watt bulbs and there were 106 on that little tree.
If we do the math 106 x 7.5 = 795 watts for one little trees. The president should start giving tax incentives to make it affordable for everyone in this country to go and purchase a more energy efficient Christmas tree. Just think of First Energy and their 2 for $21.60 light bulbs that they are trying to force on their customers, even if they already use low wattage bulbs.
If we only had a fund raiser that would allow us to purchase an item for about $3.50 and could sell for $10.80.
During the December Board Meeting the topic of new fund raising ideas was brought up and First Vice President Lion Keith suggested that we need to find a creative person willing to head this much needed committee. The question is being asked of ALL members because your Lions Club needs help from more than just a few members. Like any organization it seems like a minority manages to handle the majority of the work. The Lion that decides to take on this committee position should have at least three other members serving with them.
If we all work together as one there is no reason why the Tri-Village Lions can‟t continue to be the leaders of District 13F.
BEST WISHES AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE YANEGA FAMILY
