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."
