TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB TO CELEBRATE CLUB'S 70TH ANNIVERSARY
The Tollesboro Lions Club will celebrate it's 70th Anniversary at their next meeting, April 22, 2024.

The original charter was signed by 20 members; however by Charter Night, 25 Tollesboro residents claimed membership in the Tollesboro Lions Club.

TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB ANNOUNCES DATES FOR
2024 TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB FAIR AND HORSE-SHOW
At the February meeting of the Tollesboro Lions Club, the Club discussed this year's Annual Tollesboro Lions Club Fair. This year the Fair will be July 12th through July 20th. Normally, the Horse Show is held at the first weekend of the Fair, meaning July 12th and 13th. However, Lion Paul Hampton informed the Club that this timing would place the Tollesboro Lions Club Horse Show in direct competition with the Owensboro Horse Show. Therefore, Paul made a motion, which was properly seconded and approved, to hold the Tollesboro Lions Club Fair Horse Show July 26th and 27th, the weekend following the Fair so as not to conflict with other Fair events. The Club is looking at new events to add to the first weekend of the Fair (in addition to the Tug Tractor Pull).
TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB APPROACHES 70 YEAR MILESTONE
The Tollesboro Lions Club announces that they will soon be celebrating the 70th anniversary of the signing of their Charter. Founded in 1954, chartered April 30, 1954. Our first president was Charles M. Hughes. The first organizational meeting was held Dec. 12, 1953.When we celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the Tollesboro Lions Club on April 30, 2004, two charter members of the club not only maintained their membership from Charter Member to remain a member and survived to serve 50 years (Samuel M. “Mack” Wright lived until Feb., 20, 2015, surviving to extend the term of his membership to 61 years; Julian E. “Elmo” Gillespie actually passed away Feb. 23, 2004 just prior to the celebration of the April 30, 2004 Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Charter signing of the Tollesboro Lions Club. However he was a 50 year member of the organization as was involved in the organization of the club in the months prior to the chartering ceremony).
The TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB CHARTER CEREMONY was held April 30, 1954, with 20 members signing the Charter. The CHARTER MEMBERS of the club are listed following (in the order in which their names appeared on the Official Charter): Charles M. Hughes (the First President of the Tollesboro Lions Club), Chelsea A. Merritt, Owen Cooper, Howard Frye, Ermen L. Boyd, Scott S. Corns, Newell E. Rudder, W. B. "Buddy" Grant, Henry Calvert, Martin L. Voiers, Eugene Fox, Samuel M. "Mack" Wright, Charles A. Bane, Julian E. "Elmo" Gillespie, Harry L. Applegate, Harvey Brayfield, Lavae Secrest, Tommy Barbour, Boyd Harrison, and Orville "O. S." Highfield. NOTE: In the program for the first OFFICIAL Meeting, conducted May 18, 1954 recognized as "CHARTER NIGHT" (although 18 days following the signing of the Official Charter), 24 members are named rather than the 20 members who signed the official charter. The members who apparently joined the club after the Charter was signed but prior to the CHARTER NIGHT meeting include: Russell Barbour, Charles Secrest, Bruce Barkley, and Omer Hamlin.
Our first fair conducted in 1957, a one-day event held at the Tollesboro High School (prior to the acquisition of the fairgrounds), only 3 years after our club's organization. We have come a long way since then! We acquired the first portion of our grounds in 1960, only 6 years after our Club's organization. We have expanded the Fairgrounds over the years to include approximately 30 acres. We eventually expanded our fair to a week-long event. In the late 1990s, we expanded our fair to a 9 day event, in order to provide us with two weekends and to expand the number of events that we could host. This year our Fair will be held over 3 weekends, 11 days total, from July 12th through 20th, with the Horse Show to be held July 25th and 26th.
We are still a small Club, with 37 members; however we are an active and vital part of our community and conduct many projects to benefit the community and the members of our local community and expanding our reach to those in need (providing aid to Eastern Kentucky Flood Victims have been a priority since July of 2022 and continuing through present day). Our Club currently provides for a Zone Chairman (Craig Stanfield) and the District Governor (Steve Pedersen), and have a philosophy of “Lions Helping Lions”, offering assistance to other Lions Clubs, for decades.
TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB TO HOST

AUNTIE ANNE'S PRETZELS TO MAKE APPEARANCE IN TOLLESBORO
Auntie Anne's Pretzels will make an appearance at the Tollesboro Lions Club Fairgrounds on Thursday, March 28th from Noon until 6:00 PM as a fund-raiser for the Tollesboro Elementary School. The popular snack is visiting with their portable food truck as it has for the past few years! Always popular in the local community, last year there was a line of 20 persons when I showed up and by the time I placed my order, there were 20 new persons behind me waiting to place their order! AMAZING!
The Auntie Anne's Pretzels may be purchased by the individual soft pretzel, a pretzel dog (a hot dog wrapped in a pretzel!), or a bucket of pretzel pieces! They offer a wide selection of toppings and flavors, and they are extremely delicious!!!
WHILE YOUR VISITING, keep in mind that the Tollesboro Lions Club is offering FREE TREES to the public at large in commemoration of Arbor Day. The trees will include 100 each of Southern Red Oak, Black Walnut, and Dogwoods (courtesy of the Kentucky Department of Forestry, delivered to the Club by Forest Ranger Michael Carter) and a dozen Paw Paw Trees (courtesy of Kentucky State University; these will be required to take in groups of two trees as Paw Paw trees require a pollinator). Trees are free to the public, available “first-come/first-served”. Persons interested in picking up trees during the Auntie Annie's Pretzel stop should reserve their trees by contacting Tollesboro Lions Club President Craig Stanfield (606-301-3350) so that the trees can be made available to pick up.

TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB TREE GIVEAWAY AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS!!!
The Tollesboro Lions Club project to donate trees to the public in honor of Easter and Arbor Day was a truly successful event. The trees included Dogwoods, a symbol of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the Resurrection, thus soooooo appropriate as a gift as we prepare to celebrate Holy Week and Easter! Whereas Arbor Day is a date that people are encouraged to plant trees.
President Craig Stanfield traveled to Frankfort Tuesday, March 26th to the Harold R. Benson Research and Demonstration Farm of Kentucky State University (the state's foremost producer of Paw-Paw trees) to meet Sheri Crabtree, MSc (the Horticulture Research and Extension Associate Academic Affairs agent of Kentucky State University College of Agriculture, Community and the Sciences; and yes, that is her real name) to pickup a dozen Paw Paw trees (potted, fully leafed out, the best trees that Craig has picked up from the University to date, and this is the third time he has visited the farm to pick up Paw Paw trees to offer as part of the Arbor Day Tree Giveaway Event) to giveaway (in pairs, as Paw Paws require a pollinator for fruit production). The next day, Wednesday, May 27th, Craig traveled to the Morgan County Tree Nursery of the Kentucky Forestry Service in West Liberty, Kentucky to pick up 100 Dogwood Trees, 100 Shumard Red Oak, and 100 Black Walnut trees (Michael Carter, Forest Ranger, normally delivers these trees; he did arrange for the trees but - due to a forest fire Monday evening-Tuesday morning, he was unable to deliver the trees and - while he could arrange for delivery on Wednesday, the date that trees were supposed to be available to pickup by the public, he could not guarantee a noon delivery; therefore Craig picked up the trees). These trees are bare-root trees, thus cheaper to supply, ready to plant. All in all, 312 trees picked up to giveaway to the public at large, an event that will result in improving the environment!
Upon his return at 11:00 AM from West Liberty, people were already contacting Lions Club to arrange pickup (Craig had received approximately 20 calls prior to the event from persons wanting to reserve trees. All of the Paw-Paw trees were claimed BEFORE Craig returned from Frankfort). To permit him to have access to internet and continue to work on the computer in between visits to pick up trees, Craig gave them away from his office, located at the intersection of KY 10 and KY 57, a highly visible location, placing a sign in his parking lot to alert people of the tree giveaway event. The sign included the Tollesboro Lions Club emblem, the logos of the Kentucky Forestry Service and Kentucky State University and indicated that the trees were free for Arbor Day planting and indicated the types of trees available.
Between 11 AM until 3:45 PM, OVER HALF of the trees had been claimed/given-away/distributed, with additional calls for pickup the next day. Craig had planned to have trees available at the Tollesboro Lions Club Thursday, March 28 during the Auntie Anne's Pretzel/Tollesboro Elementary School Fund-raiser, and at the Tollesboro Lions Club Saturday for the Community Easter Egg Hunt, March 30th. HOWEVER demand far exceeded expectations and all 312 trees were claimed and picked up from Craig at his office before the Auntie Anne's Pretzel Truck was setup, with the remaining trees (estimated to be 40 to 45% of the 312 trees) picked up between 10:30 and 11 AM!!! In all, 312 trees distributed to plant, free to the public, a good variety, resulting in improving the environment, with all trees claimed and given away in less than 24 hours!!! AN OVERWHELMING SUCCESS ALL THE WAY!!!
TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB TO HOST ARBOR DAY TREE GIVEAWAY
NEAR EASTER/(KY) ARBOR DAY
The Tollesboro Lions Club has once again partnered with the Kentucky Division of Forestry and with Kentucky State University to provide trees to give-away to the public at large for Arbor Day. Tollesboro Lions Club President Craig Stanfield contacted Michael Carter, Forest Ranger of the KY Division of Forestry) and Sheri Crabtree (MSc, Horticulture Research and Extension Associate Academic Affairs) of Kentucky State University, both of whom were happy to provide trees for the Club to give away to the public.
This year, we will receive Southern Red Oak, Black Walnut, Dogwood (so appropriate during the Easter Celebration, as the Dogwood Legend is symbolic of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. For those not familiar with the legend: The legend of the Dogwood Tree is that the small size of the tree is due to the fact that the tree originally grew large and was the source of the lumber used in the construction of the Cross upon which Jesus Christ was crucified, and that God punished the Dogwood Tree to shrink in size so that it can never again be used as the source of lumber for a Crucifixion Cross. Further, the Dogwood tree has a four-petal flower resembling the shape of a Cross. Further, each petal has a mark (indentation) on it that resembles a "rust color" resembling dried blood representing the wounds placed in Christ's body, one petal being at the "Head" representing the wounds created by the Crown of Thorns, with the two side petals representing the wounds placed in Jesus' hands, and with the remaining petal representing the wounds to the Lord's feet. Dogwoods flower in the spring, and the flowers are typically either white or pink, both colors used heavily during the Easter Celebration. NOTE: We do not know what color flowers the Dogwoods we receive will produce) from the Kentucky Division of Forestry and with Kentucky State University providing Paw Paw trees, for the Club to give to the public in recognition of Arbor Day (NOTE: With the exception of the Oaks, the trees do require a pollinator tree; thus persons reserving trees are requested to pick up multiple trees to improve growth as well as flower/fruit/nut production).
Arbor Day is a nationally celebrated event whereby people and organizations are encouraged to plant trees so as to benefit the environment. Arbor Day nationally is celebrated the last Friday in April, thus April 26th. However, many states opt to celebrate Arbor Day on dates that coincide with more opportunistic planting times (although determined by date and climatic region, rather than by "moon signs" which many people prefer to plant in. According to the almanac, the waning moon is the best time to plant trees and seedlings. The closest waning moon to the date that the trees will be available is April 3rd through 8th, which includes April 5th, Kentucky's Arbor Day date this year). Kentucky celebrates Arbor Day the first Friday in April, meaning that this year Arbor Day in Kentucky is April 5th. This marks the fourth year that the Tollesboro Lions Club has offered free trees to the public in recognition of Arbor Day, having previously offered free trees in 2019, 2022, and 2023. Trees will be available March 27th (keep in mind that those wishing to plant by the "waning moon" that the best time to plant is April 3rd through April 8th!) and persons may contact Craig Stanfield (Lions Club President) directly to place an order of trees and to pick up trees by calling him at 606-301-3350 (Mason County number) or 606-798-2009 (Lewis County number). Trees are available first-come/first-served. The Division of Forestry provided 100 each of Southern Red Oak, Black Walnut, and Dogwood trees. Kentucky State University will provide 12 Paw Paw trees, given in pairs (as require a pollinator), thus only 6 persons will be able to receive Paw Paws.
The Tollesboro Lions Club participates in Arbor Day Tree Giveaways as tree planting is a project recommended by Lions Club International's "Initiative to Improve The Environment". While trees provide natural beauty to the areas in which they are planted, it is not just their inherent beauty that improves the environment. Oaks and Walnuts produce nuts; Paw Paws produce fruit, and the Dogwood is a beautiful flowering yard tree. The nuts and fruits from these trees provide important food sources for wildlife, most of which are also suited to human consumption. Most tree varieties will grow to become large trees, generally in excess of 40 feet in height (Dogwoods being an exception, a small tree, generally 25 feet in height or less although some varieties may grow to a 40 foot height), often exceeding 100 feet, and leaves scattered throughout the height provide for shady canopies in which many birds nest and as necessary to the survival of many other plants and animals. This shade also acts to cool the earth, providing an important defense against global warming. Also, once trees mature, they sometimes become homes for different wildlife. Oaks and Walnuts are hardwood trees producing timber which we use for a variety of purposes (fuel, building materials, furniture, manufacture of paper, etc.); Paw Paws produce edible fruits suited to human (or wildlife) consumption and can be used to make ice cream, wine, brandy, and other items; Dogwoods are a desirable ornamental yard tree that is highly desirable and low maintenance that can add value to one's home. Trees improve and benefit the environment in many ways (depending upon the variety, trees may be fruit and nut bearing for wildlife and human consumption; production of timber; provide homes for birds and wildlife; provide shady canopies that cool the Earth and the environment in which they are planted and a defense against global warming, etc.), however, the most important benefit trees add to the environment is their ability to clean air, taking in carbon dioxide from the air that we exhale and converting it through the process of photosynthesis to produce oxygen which we inhale. Lastly: The trees are free. By agreeing to pick up and plant the trees, it will require you to "get outside" and do a little exercise (digging to plant the trees), an added benefit to your health (just don't over-do it!). So feel free to contact Craig (606-301-3350 or 606-798-2009) to order/arrange pickup of trees, compliments of the Tollesboro Lions Club!

The banners had been used in the Tollesboro Lions Club Fair Parade, with these contributors named Honorary Parade Grand Marshalls.
TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB FEBRUARY MEETING BUSY WITH NEW MEMBERS,
NUMEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS
The Tollesboro Lions Club met Monday, February 12th at 7 pm at their Clubhouse on the grounds of the Tollesboro Lions Club Fairgrounds with 15 members present.
President Craig Stanfield opened the meeting with Prayer, followed by member Charles Kendall leading the group in the Pledge of Allegiance. The group then broke for dinner provided by Skeeter and Sonia Shaw.
Following dinner, Secretary Phil Cropper provided the minutes from the January meeting, followed by Treasurer Steve Pedersen going over the Club's finances.
District Governor Steve Pedersen then presented two new members with pins and membership packets. The Club welcomed new members Alan Henderson and Brendan Bussell. Member Denny Hornback sponsored Alan Henderson and Brendan Bussell was sponsored by Steve Pedersen. Denny and Steve were provided with Sponsor pins.
Under Old Business, Craig presented the Club with the specs of the building being ordered from Kountry Korner Barns & Cabins for use as a shelter for those working the gates during the Tollesboro Lions Club Fair and other events held at the Fairgrounds (this to replace a structure that had been irreparably damaged at the closing of last year's Fair). The structure is to be an 8' x 12' overall structure, metal sided, 8' x 8' enclosed, with a 4' wide covered porch, red metal siding, white roof, with a door and two windows.
Under New Business, several items were discussed. Steve Pedersen, Club Treasurer and also the District Governor, mentioned the 2024 District 43-Y Convention to be in Lexington, March 9th, encouraging membership to attend (President Craig Stanfield and Second Vice President Jim Meadows will be in attendance, and will be voting members representing the Tollesboro Lions Club).
Craig, also serving as Zone Chairman, then invited members to attend a Zone Meeting at the T.ollesboro Lions Club Monday, March 4th at 6 pm. There are 6 Clubs within the Zone, including Tollesboro, and Craig had already been in contact with members from the Mays Lick, Vanceburg, Orangeburg, and Maysville Lions Clubs and will contact members of the Lewisburg Club, and all Clubs within the Zone are encouraged to attend and encouraged to turn-in the numbers of members planning to attend as a meal will be provided so as to ensure that adequate food is prepared.
Next, Steve mentioned District 43-Y's program "A JOURNEY TO RECOVERY" intended to offer Eastern Kentucky Flood Victims additional funds for those who lost everything, who have now been provided with housing, but who are still in need of basics (pots, pans, dinnerware, flatware, towels, sheets, blankets, glassware, coffee pots, blankets, toasters, etc.). The District is applying for a grant from Lions International and is encouraging Clubs throughout the District to donate additional funds for this project. Funds raised will be used to purchase basics for presentation to those in need through Lions Clubs located at Hazard, Neeon, Hindman, and Jackson. A motion was then made and properly seconded for the Tollesboro Lions Club to donate $2,500 towards this project, a motion that was approved unanimously.
Craig then brought up that Skeeter had provided him with a flyer for the upcoming 6th Annual Tollesboro Spring Trade Days to be held at the Tollesboro Lions Club Fairgrounds May 2nd through May 5th. This Flea Market Event has been growing steadily - especially over the last 2 years - with vendors offering new and used items, antiques, tools, guns, baked and home-made goods, arts and crafts, and more!

Secretary Phil Cropper provided a letter from Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation requesting support of the Kentucky Mr. & Ms. Basketball Program. The Club opted to support this program by means of a $250 donation.
The Club also opted to contribute $250 to the ION Center (formerly the Womens Crisis Center) or Maysville as well as $250 to CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Maysville.
The Club discussed this year's Annual Tollesboro Lions Club Fair. This year the Fair will be July 12th through July 20th. Normally, the Horse Show is held at the first weekend of the Fair, meaning July 12th and 13th. However, Lion Paul Hampton informed the Club that this timing would place the Tollesboro Lions Club Horse Show in direct competition with the Owensboro Horse Show. Therefore, Paul made a motion, which was properly seconded and approved, to hold the Tollesboro Lions Club Fair Horse Show July 26th and 27th, the weekend following the Fair so as not to conflict with other Fair events. The Club is looking at new events to add to the first weekend of the Fair (in addition to the Tug Tractor Pull).
Being no further business, the meeting adjourned.

TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB DONATES TO KENTUCKY LIONS PROJECT BENEFITING EASTERN KENTUCKY
At the February meeting of the Tollesboro Lions Club, the Club opted to support District 43-Y's program "A JOURNEY TO RECOVERY" intended to offer Eastern Kentucky Flood Victims additional funds for those who lost everything, who have now been provided with housing, but who are still in need of basics (pots, pans, dinnerware, flatware, towels, sheets, blankets, glassware, coffee pots, blankets, toasters, etc.). The District is applying for a grant from Lions International and is encouraging Clubs throughout the District to donate additional funds for this project. Funds raised will be used to purchase basics for presentation to those in need through Lions Clubs located at Hazard, Neon, Hindman, and Jackson. A motion was then made and properly seconded for the Tollesboro Lions Club to donate $2,500 towards this project, a motion that was approved unanimously.
TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB DONATES TO KLEF
At the February meeting of the Tollesboro Lions Club, the Club opted to support the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation (KLEF) with a donation of $250. From the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation website: Founded in 1954, The Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation (KLEF) is a charitable non-profit organization with a philanthropic goal whose mission is to provide vision services through education, detection, prevention, treatment and empowerment. Through collaborative partnerships, we enable greater independence and increased quality of life for all Kentuckians while focusing on children and adults in financial need. The Foundation’s activities are supported through funds contributed by Lions & Lioness Clubs, individual members, businesses, benefactors, fundraising events, memorials and bequests.
TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB TO HOST ZONE MEETING MARCH 4TH
Tollesboro Lions Club President Craig Stanfield is the Region 2, Zone 3 Zone Chairman representing the Lions Clubs within the area. Six clubs make up Region 2, Zone 3. The Clubs represented by Zone Chairman Stanfield are: Vanceburg, Lewisburg-Mill Creek, Mays Lick, Maysville, Orangeburg and Tollesboro. The Tollesboro Lions Club will host a Zone Meeting, Monday, March 4th, at the Tollesboro Lions Club at 6:00 PM; a meal will be provided. Chuck Carlson, of the Florence Lions Club, Past President of the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation, plans to attend the meeting. Craig contacted members of all of the Clubs in the Zone and invited them to attend, indicating that a meal would be provided and asking for an indication of the number of members that each Club may send in order to insure adequate food would be prepared. All of the Club's have responded indicating that they will send representatives! This is a welcome change as typically only a few members tend to attend and typically only a few Clubs are represented. As of February 29th, 34 Lions Club members from Clubs within the Zone (and this does not include members of the host club, the Tollesboro Lions Club) have confirmed attendance. Therefore, Tollesboro Lions Club President Craig Stanfield opted to change the date of the Club's regular meeting to coincide with the Zone Meeting (this is as the Tollesboro Lions Club, which normally meets at 7 pm on the 2nd and 4th Monday of the month from March through November --- only meeting the second Monday of the month from December through February --- would have 3 meetings in March. Therefore, due to the expected turnout of the Zone meeting, it was decided to rearrange the schedule so that members of the Tollesboro Lions Club could attend Monday, March 4th and not have a business meeting March 11th, as the Club will be having a meeting March 25th). Therefore the Tollesboro Lions Club will meet March 4th and March 25th this month and NOT meet March 11th.
TOLLESBORO LIONS CLUB HOSTS ZONE & REGULAR MEETING MARCH 4TH
The Tollesboro Lions Club hosted a Zone Meeting Monday, March 4th, at their Lions Club Clubhouse in Tollesboro. The meeting began at 6 pm., with 45 persons in attendance. Tollesboro Lions Club President/Kentucky Multiple District 43-Y/Region 2/ Zone 3 Chairman Craig Stanfield opened the meeting with Prayer, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance led by District Governor/Tollesboro Lions Club Treasurer Steve Pedersen. The group then broke for dinner, a wonderful meal of ham, turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, baked macaroni and cheese, green beans, rolls, with a dessert of chocolate brownie with ice cream with hot fudge (the meal was provided by Skeeter and Sonya Shaw).
Following dinner, Chairman Stanfield opened the meeting, thanking those in attendance. He then asked the members of each Club to rise as their Club was announced so that a count could be conducted. There are six Clubs in the Zone and all six were represented. The Maysville Lions Club was represented by one member; the Mays Lick Lions Club and the Mill Creek/Lewisburg Lions Club were each represented by 3 members; the Orangeburg Lions Clubs and the Vanceburg Lions Club were each represented by 10 members (Orangeburg did add an underage child guest); and the host Club had 15 members in attendance. Also attending, from the Independence Lions Club was Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation 43-Y Region 2 Trustee Karen Nitschke and from the Florence Lions Club Past President Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation Past President Chuck Carlson.
Craig then invited a member of each Club to identify what projects that their Club had participated in.
The Maysville Club indicated that they had just begun sending out letters requesting donations for their main fund-raiser, the Maysville Lions Club Radio Auction, which will run from April 8 through April 13th. They also have blessed with the addition of 4 new members. Member Angela Jett was seeking the position of 2024-2025 Zone Chairman.
Next, the Mays Lick Lions Club stated that they planned a Pancake Breakfast for April 6th; are planning to clean highways this summer; plan to provide concessions for the Tractor Show at the Mays Lick Mill; had benefited by 2 new members joining the Club; and meet regularly to play Euchre.
The Mill Creek-Lewisburg Lions Club indicated that they were planning two Horse Shows this year, the first scheduled for May 25th, the second scheduled for September 14th. They were blessed with the addition of a new member.
Vanceburg had several new members in attendance and was to go next. However, Zone Chairman Stanfield decided to have all members present who had been Lions Club members for less than one year to stand and be recognized. Ten members stood up representing a number of Clubs within the Zone representing 4 of the 6 Clubs in the Zone (Mays Lick, Orangeburg, Vanceburg and Tollesboro)! This is a great statement to the future of Lions Club International as many Clubs and organizations are having a hard time showing growth and there were present in the Zone Meeting 10 persons who had joined their respective Lions Club within the past year in attendance at a Zone Meeting, a meeting that was represented by every Club within the Zone, an impressive statement in itself, with 45 members in attendance, another impressive statement!
Vanceburg then indicated that it had been BLESSED with 8 or 9 new members (many of who were present) within the last year! They just completed their sponsorship of the Annual Elementary School Basketball Tournament, a tournament that they have sponsored for in excess of 60 years. They had recently donated to "Night to Shine", the Raylen Project, Shop With A Cop, Scholarships for Lewis County High School graduates, and Warrior Ridge. They had also participated in eyeglasses and eye exams. They are planning a 10 & Under and an 8 & Under Softball Tournament (Saturday, July 20th) as well as a Golf Tournament.
Orangeburg then stepped to the plate. They had moved their regular meeting to attend the Zone Meeting. They had 15 new members since July! They too have a Pancake Breakfast scheduled for April 6th. They had received the 2023 Lions Club Excellence Award. They had recently provided tenure pins for their members, with one member receiving the 35 year pin (Shelby Trimble). They are planning their annual Soup/Live Auction Fall Festival Event and Shelby asked Lion Stanfield how many years it had been ongoing, to which Craig responded since 1989. This is the Orangeburg Lions Club's largest fund-raiser, an instance of "Lions Helping Lions" as Craig has been conducting this auction for all those many years! This year's Fall Festival Soup and Live Auction Fall Festival Event is scheduled for October 19th.
The host Club was next. The Tollesboro Club is planning their Annual Lions Club Fair which will be July 12th through 20th. This year, the Horse Show will be July 25th and July 26th. The Club has recently donated $2500 to Kentucky Lions "Journey to Recovery" Project, an ongoing project still benefiting Flood Victims from Eastern Kentucky to improve living conditions. The Club had also donated $250 each to Maysville CASA, the ION Center, and to the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation.
Following the Zone Meeting, Lions Chuck Carlson and Karen Nitschke made brief presentations. Karen presented a commercial featuring Louisville, Kentucky, the site for this year's the upcoming USA-Canada Forum, which will be Sept. 5th through 7th. Lion Carlson discussed the State Convention April 27th in Elizabethtown, KY; and the District Convention this weekend (March 9th) in Lexington, KY.
Following this presentation, in order to give the members an opportunity to visit a table setup by Lions Carlson and Nitschke, to examine and purchase Lions Club International clothing, pins, medallions, and to purchase chances for a Kentucky Rifle to be given away by KLEF. The Clubs in attendance were then permitted to leave (Tollesboro Lions Club members were requested to stay to participate in their own Club meeting following the Zone meeting).
The Tollesboro Lions Club meeting began at approximately 7:45 PM with 15 members in attendance. In the absence of Secretary Phil Cropper, Lion Stanfield read the press release from the last meeting in lieu of the minutes; they were accepted as read. Lion Pedersen informed the members that the State Aid Request had been submitted and approved for the 2024 Lions Club Fair. With no new business brought before the group, a motion was made and subsequently seconded to adjourn.

He also highlighted recovery efforts led by Lions Clubs delivering food, fans, tarps, generators, Lp gas heaters, clothing (coats, socks, gloves, etc.), gift certificates, drive-thru feeding lines, and other provisions to serve those impacted by the significant flooding. It was also mentioned that recovery efforts are continuing through present day, with the District 43Y's program "A Journey To Recovery" intended to provide needed basics to those to who lost everything. The "Journey To Recovery"'s goal is to raise $12,000 to support flood victims with toasters, towels, flatware, dishes, glasses, pots and pans, blankets, sheets, coffee pots, and microwaves to assist flood victims as they move from temporary structures to permanent housing (NOTE: The goal of $12,000 was met during the Convention.
