I would like to thank all the Lions for all the work that they did last year. Our club is only successful because of all the volunteer hours that are put in which in turn allows the club to be generous to the community. This year during the holidays we were able to offer gift cards to many families at Thanksgiving and give a substantial amount to the food pantry at Christmas. Our club helped make this a brighter season for many local families. 2015 has indeed arrived and we are already starting on this year’s activities. Our first big activity is the Crab Feed. This year the Crab Feed is more important than ever. The Lions Center for the Visually Impaired (LCVI) .has lost 80% of its state funding. They are really in trouble financially. Accordingly, the Board voted to give 100% of the profits from the Crab Feed to the LCVI. Now here’s the great part about being Lions. The Brentwood and Byron Delta Lions are joining in with us to make this the greatest Crab Feed ever and hopefully the most profitable ever. It is still going to require a lot of work from all of you, but we do have help. If any of you would like to sell Crab Feed tickets, call me (925-354-1563). If you would like to buy a ticket go to www.discoverybaylions.com. Now about the rest of year. At our January 20th Board meeting we will be discussing the projects for the year. If any of you have something you would like to see the Lions do – come to the Board meeting or get the information to one of the Board members. We meet at 6:30 at the Community Center. All Lions are always welcome. Our next meeting is right around the corner. We will be installing several new Lions so please come to meet them on February 3rd.See you at the meeting.
