Mifflintown Lions Club Visit

My first Club visit in October was to the Mifflintown Lions Club. It was a beautiful drive up 11/15 to 322 through the mountains. The trees, just within a week have begun to show their Autumn Colors. The Mifflintown Lions were ready for me with 600 pairs of glasses collected and neatly deposited in my car. This is one of our singing Lions Clubs. We did a rousing rendition of "I've Been Working On the Railroad" and "My Bonnie". This was followed with a song to the waiter to feed us. The Club began a program to recognize 12 members for their commitment to their Club. 12 Lion Hats were purchased last year, and then engraved with the Club's name. Members voted for 3 members to receive a hat. The top 3 will receive a hat. This process will continue through the year until the hats are on the heads of great Lions. This Club also is creative with fundraisers. Since there are so many Chicken BBQs on the weekend, they serve the bird up on Wednesdays. This time around, they are having the 4H Seeing Eye Dog Group have a food stand as well to help promote their cause. It was a wonderful evening of new ideas, laughs, and sharing of information. You don't have to be a District Governor to visit other Clubs. I would encourage you to get out the District Directory, organize a group of Club Members and go visit another Club. You will learn something new, have fun, and probably make a new friend.
