North Shuswap Lions
By Ted Danyluk
North Shuswap Lions has provided
financial support, which was doubled by
the Canadian government, to the Canadian
Red Cross providing humanitarian
aid in the Ukraine.
Red Cross teams on the ground in
Ukraine and surrounding countries are
giving assistance to those being impacted.
At border crossings and in major
cities, this invaluable support includes
food, water, clothing and hygiene kits,
first aid training, medical supplies, and
around the clock heath care, including
psychosocial support. Through the
awesome support of North Shuswap
residents to our fund-raising functions,
our Club is able to help provide humanitarian
aid where it is needed most.
Our Club’s weekly Meat & 50/50
Draw is now back at The Hub every
Saturday from 3-5:00
p.m. North Shuswap
residents kept the
Meat Draw alive and
well in January, February
and early March with a whole
bunch of help from these great folks;
the very generous NSCA for the use of
the Hall; Troy Pinkus, Annemarie Hamilton,
Karla Lambert, Al Hamilton and
Kristie Pollock for the superb job they
did in providing delicious snacks and
refreshing beverages.
Get out your calendars; preliminary
planning is underway for our assistance
with the 27th Annual Father’s Day Captains
Village Marina “On The Water’
Poker Run. Registration information
and all the details for the June 19 event
will be announced next month. While
you have your calendars handy mark
Saturday, September 4 for the 3rd
Annual Sycamore Quartet Concert at
Celista Winery.
The Club is hoping to start up its
Annual Garage Sale around the second
week of September. The only hitch is
we need a large waterproof facility in
Scotch Creek to store all that we collect
for the sale. If you have an empty
garage, barn, storage unit, Sea Can that
you are willing to donate for all or part
of May, June, July, August and the first
two weeks in September, please contact
Chuck at 250-955-0138 to work
out the details.
If you don’t have the time to be a
member of the North Shuswap Lions,
then how about being a volunteer
supporter with our Club. With April
24-30 being National Volunteer Week,
what better time is there to phone Ted
at 250-955-6384 so you can add your
name to our list of volunteers. This
month’s article describes a lot of things
to get involved with. Not only will
you be a part of a group working collectively
to contribute to the community,
but you will get to connect with
a great group of people from diverse
backgrounds and life experiences.
Oh, but if you want to be a member
contact Ron at 250-955-0585.
