President's Welcome

Lion President Judith Grosenick

2011-2012

WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE OF

THE EUGENE DOWNTOWN LIONS!

 

It's Springtime in Eugene--Honestly

 

I decided to depart from the tradition of leaving the same presidential message for the

entire Lions year--because it's Springtime and

Springtime brings the Eugene Downtown Lions Annual Raffle

to raise money for our Community Service activities.

This year our Raffle is a departure from past years.

How? NO AUTOMOBILE as the prize.

Instead there will be several different prizes and a limited number of tickets.

For more details about the raffle

check out the poster at the bottom of this page.

Also listed below are the

many community groups who have been

recipients of money raised, in part, though our past raffles.

For details about the raffle dates and locations,

please click on "Fund Raising Event" on the sidebar.

 

Now, because I can't fully depart from tradition I want to paraphrase

what this Presidential Welcome has said for the past 9 months.

"I suspect that folks who have visited this site have a good idea

of the many activities of the Eugene Downtown Lions Club.

If you are new to the site, I hope that you have

fun exploring the site as you learn about the Lions

and especially the Eugene Downtown Lions.


Probably the best way to learn about the

Eugene Downtown Lions, however, is to

attend one of our lively and informative

meetings which are held every

Wednesday from Noon to 1 p.m. (promptly)

at the Hilton Hotel, 66 East 6th Avenue, Eugene."


 

On the left sidebar please note that you can make a secure online donation to the Eugene Downtown Lions Foundation via PayPal which accepts major credit cards as well as PayPal accounts.

About the Lions

The Eugene Downtown Lions Club is a group of volunteer citizens from a wide range of professions, trades, and ages, united by the call to service. We are members of Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service organization with about 1.35 million members worldwide in 206 countries. As Lions, we are apolitical, nonsectarian and do not base membership on race, creed or color.

We are men and women who volunteer our time and talents to humanitarian causes in the local, state, national, and world communities. By conducting service projects and raising funds, we strive to help those in need wherever the need exists. We have FUN and FELLOWSHIP, but most importantly, WE SERVE our community.
