We wanted to share a main point of communication last night in regards to our meeting structure.  We have decided to move general meetings to once a month rather than twice.  We will now hold a general meeting on the second Tuesday of each month.  Board meetings will remain on the third Tuesday of the month.  This change will take place in an effort to keep our dues the same while still providing a quality meal as food costs rise.  We also hope the change will encourage you to block your calendars for that second Tuesday and join us!  In addition to our once a month meeting, we will hold four quarterly gatherings.  These gatherings will be a tad different in structure than our normal meeting format but will be aimed at bringing club members together for fun and camaraderie.  Please save the date of our first quarterly gathering on October 22nd.  More details to come! We also wanted to invite you to attend the LARC Annual Appreciation Dinner on Friday, October 6, at the Serbian Social Center in Lansing.  As many of you know, our club supports this wonderful organization that serves individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  The cost to attend is $65 per person.  If you are interested, please let Lion Katie or myself know by 9/17 so that we can send an RSVP to LARC.  It would be great to have our club represented at this event. Lastly, Lion Katie and I will continue to send information via email, but please be sure to follow the Calumet City Lions on the club website and Facebook page for photos and updates as well.  Also, be on the lookout for emails asking for RSVPs for volunteer events and meetings.  We are looking forward to a great year in Lionism! We will see you at our next general meeting on Tuesday, October 10!
