MAY 14 -- AWARDS NIGHT
CALUMET CITY LIONS CLUB 2024 Call for Nominations
SISTER ALBAN AWARD FOR OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE
The nominee does NOT have to be a resident of Calumet City, but he or she must have demonstrated over a significant period of time -- and on a volunteer basis -- the desire, dedication and ability to assist city residents, address their needs, make living conditions better . . . perhaps even putting a smile on their faces. We're looking for the spirit of unselfish service to others that Sister Alban displayed for so many years.
Submit nominations (including nominee's record of service and contact information) to:
Lion Dennis Halloran, 881 Wentworth Ave., Calumet City IL 60409
Home: 708/862-4874; Cell: 312/513-1287; E:Mail: denhalloran@gmail.com
Deadline: Monday, May 6, 2024
Award Presentation: Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Fellow Lions,
Our first early bird drawing for $250 was held March 12 and we had a great turnout! Ticket #095 was the winner sold by Lion Steve Drew. The second Early Bird ($1,000) was claimed by Ticket #435, also sold by Lion Drew.
We have 362 tickets already sold (more than double the amount sold at this time in 2023!). So keep up the great work. I have seven tickets that have been returned to me as Stella Torres looks to winnow down the amount of tickets she sells on behalf of the late great Lion Lou. If you need any additional tickets please let me know!
Best,
Lion Andrew
Happy Birthday_________

Just Wondering:
-- How do you get off a non-stop flight?
-- How come noses run and feet smell?
-- Why is it called a TV set when there's only one?
-- Why do we put cups in the dishwasher and dishes in the cupboard?
