Lurgan Township Lions Club Meeting

I visited with the Lurgan Twp Lions Club members on November 8. They have a beautiful community park and building in Roxbury. This is a Club of 75 strong, but they continue to seek new members. They understand the importance of bringing in new ideas, perspectives, helping hands to provide better and more service to their community. I was privileged to see a father and son inducted into the Club that evening. This is a Club that understands innovation and how it can improve service to the community. Several years ago, they added a fitness trail to their park. It's a great place for individuals to come, get some exercise, and enoy the beautiful surroundings. A few years ago, they came up with a "Haunted Trail" for Halloween. Members and nonmembers alike get into the spirit of Halloween by providing safe fun to kids as they walk the Haunted Trail, looking out for ghosts and goblins. What a fun, innovative idea!! I also was serenaded with a "Happy Birthday" song from the members as that is my birthday. It seems a certain Partner In Service made a phone call to the President that morning, informing him of the event. They were true gentlemen and didn't ask how many birthdays I've had.
