Can you believe we are almost
through another year of serving our community!! We have many great opportunities to end the year strong. We have
White Cane Day on May 1st for which we
still have many spots to fill Please contact
Gay Enyeart if you can help. This also
means we will not be having our weekly
Friday meeting on May 1st so we can all
help educate the community on what we
do as Lions.
Lion Roy, once again, is organizing
the annual Track Meet at the School for
the Blind on Thursday, May 14th. This is
one of the best times to bring friends and
family to volunteer to see these magnificent kids taking part in all of these
events. I know when I have brought
people from the credit union to help that
they are so amazed at what these kids
can do and always are so thankful that I
invited them to participate. So please
consider signing up to help and invite
someone to come and see this amazing
event.
May 15 / 16th is the 19G Spring Conference up in Kelso. The theme of the
conference this year is Cruisin’ to the
Conference. This conference is a great
one to attend because it is so close so
you do not have to stay the night if you
don’t want. Friday night is a fun filled
night with contests and awards. I think
you will enjoy attending this because we
have a couple of our clan going to perform so you will have to attend to see
what they are going to do. On Saturday
there are several breakout sessions that
will provide an excellent opportunity for
some of the incoming board members to
attend.
On May 30th at Club Green Meadows
we are celebrating a milestone for our
club—our 60th anniversary!!

you do not miss out on the fun.
Also mark your calendars for the
end of the year celebration that will be
held on Thursday June 25th at the Pearson Air museum. This will be a pot
luck dinner where we will be saying
Thank You to all of those who served
on the board this year and inducting
those new members who will be joining
the board for next year. More details

On Saturday May 2, 12 members of the Fort Vancouver Lions Club
gathered at the home of Roy & Lori Pulliam for
the 2nd Annual Kentucky Derby Party. It was a
festive occasion as everyone dressed for the
races – ladies wore beautiful hats and the guys
did their best to dress like high rollers. The party started with a social hour which featured
great Mint Juleps created by Lori. Everyone
brought a dish to share so there were plenty of
food to go along with
the conversations about
which horse would win the race. Everyone studied racing forms and news articles and then
placed their bets. At 3:40, the race was on and
the group cheered wildly for their favorites. It
was a great race. The
winner American Pharaoh
made four club members
a little richer. The winners were: Amy Hegewald,
Jen Leger, Bill Shalaby and DeLores Milligan.
After the race, the gambling fever was still
high so we bet on the Royal Princess’ name. On
Monday we learned it was Charlotte, which made
Adam Hegewald and DeLores Milligan the big winners. What a fun social event. Plan to join us next
year for the 142nd Kentucky Derby!

Fort Vancouver Lions Club
Century Club Presentation
On May 30, 2015, the Fort Vancouver Lions Club will make
Lions history!
In order to honor and recognize members of the Fort Vancouver Lions Club who have served the club and our community
faithfully, the Board of Directors created the Century Club. To
be eligible for membership in the Fort Vancouver Lions Century
Club the total of the member’s age plus years of service to the Lions mission must be
equal to or greater than 100.
Many Lions being recognized have served our club in leadership roles as officers and
committee chairs; some have gone on to positions at the zone, district, and Multiple
District levels and beyond. Others have focused their service activities closer to home –
at the club and community level. Everyone receiving this award has at least two traits
in common - lifelong commitment to community service and a dedication to Lionism. It
is for those reasons the Fort Vancouver Lions would like to recognize and honor these
Century Club recipients.
Each of the following members will receive a special Century Club pin and Certificate
of Appreciation: Carol Casey, Tori Luetjen, June Serviss, Ralph Harding, John Lyons,
Terry Sutfin, Marcel Tingey, Ray Casey, Terry Robertson, Del Lanphier, Ken Milligan,
Bob Weller, Ken Serviss, Wally Teuscher and Don Fish.
Please make plans to join us on Saturday, May 30th to recognize and honor the first
members of the Fort Vancouver Lions Century Club. For reservations and/or information contact Len Leger at [email protected] or 360-216-3363.
