Casino Trip for Camp
The Horseshoe Casino trip took place on March 19 and
went extremely well for the North Hardin Lions Club. They raised
$660.00 for camp. They had 44 people make the trip and they plan to do
it again. The folks on the bus wanted to know when they could do it
again. They had a great time. We thank the North Hardin
Lions!
DuPont Manual Students - Held Work Project
At Camp
The students picked two work days for their
project. The first group of 5 girls came on Sat. April 9th - they
put sealer/stain on the boat dock. The weather didn't cooperate
fully with them and when rain began, they organized/cleaned the
Camp Heart to Heart storage room. The girls did a great
job. Camp provided Pizza and soft drinks for lunch.
The volunteer girls were: Kaitlin Mans, Hailee
Bowling, Nadia Almasalhhi, Kristen Trayler and Amari Dryden. They also
donated some putters.
The second group of students came on April 30th -
eleven students came in the morning along with a couple
Mothers. Lion Daniel Coe, Kevin Patton and Bryan Estes
helped coordinate the work plan - they put sealer/stain on three
bridges and all the field stands; and they did some organizing of tile
in the barn.
Lion Steve Baker picked up Pizza and soft drinks for
the work group.
This group of students were: Kaitlin Mans, Kristen
Traylor, Ayrin Cooke, Lauren Marberry, Ben Flanigan, Michael Puffer,
Nadia Almasalkhi, Alee Campbell, Hailee Bowling, Kyle Abell, and
Hayleigh Gittli.
We sincerely thank the Dupont Manual students for
selecting our camp for their work project. They did a great job!
Lion Gilbert Ruiz Being Deployed
Lion Gilbert Ruiz is a North Hardin Lions
member. He is being deployed right away. He has however,
been very active in Lions Service. He helped supervise the Leo
Conference the weekend of May 13 and enjoyed being at camp. He
wanted to help further before being deployed.
He worked Monday through Saturday the following week
and again the next Monday. He is a buzz saw - some of the things
he did was to trim some shrubs, did weed eating around the sewer plant/
lagoon, up around the front gate; helped with the pool filter setup;
fixed the wood panels on the pool wall, painted the metal railings at
the office building; painted parking lot stripes; mopped the cafeteria
(after it was stripped).
We truly appreciate all he did to help get camp
ready! We hope his stint "where ever" is short and that he is
home real soon!

Kroger Gift Card Program
We hope the Kroger Gift Card Program will grow over time. Camp
will receive 4% from the card activity. We initially took 100
cards and have already signed out all but 2 cards. We have
ordered 50 more. If you live near a Krogers or even currently
shop at Krogers, purchase a $5 card (it has $5 on it) and begin
shopping at Krogers. All purchases apply except for services - such as
money orders and lottery tickets. Please note that the cards is
good for GAS too. Let us know how many cards to send you.
Thanks.
Burn the Mortgage Project (Dime-A-Day or
Quarter-A-Day Cans)
As of May 5, 2011 we had received $3,087.95 already. While many
collection cans are out to a number of Lions and others, we still have
1 case of cans left to disburse. Let us know who wants
some. We believe this is a Lions project that almost anyone can
help with. A dime a day is only 70 cents a week - this is less
than a soft drink. A quarter a day is $1.75 a day - this would be
less than most hamburgers and many other things.
Can you help?
If you haven't looked at
the web site, take a few minutes and look it over. We welcome your
questions and any suggestions that you may have for improvement.
