FISHING DERBY

31st ANNUAL LIONS FISHING DERBY

DATE: JULY 16, 2009

The 31st Annual Fishing Derby was held as scheduled on a very beautiful day at Lake Shabbona. I have Received the following report from PDG Lion Ed Carter, and his final statement is so very very true. We need to get youth involved to continue to grow our clubs and Lionism.

Lion Lee,

The final numbers are 340 guests, and 167 Lions and volunters. It was great to see the Paw Paw Cheerleaders again working with our guests. Some other second generation folks were also out there -- the future of our organization, and our society.

Thanks,

Lion Ed

Although rain TRIED to ruin our pork chop dinner it did not succeed. The dinner was well attended, and many raffle prizes were distributed (although Kirkland Lions seemed to have a lock on raffle prizes this year).

I will post pictures as soon as I receive some. Thank You to all who volunteered and helped to make the day a great success.
