Picture Moments & Holiday Wishes

We had a couple of reasons to drag out the camera tonight. First, Lynn Infanger received an award. It was a Leo Club Advisor Outstanding Service Award. Lynn does great work with our local Leo Club and we're proud to have her as a member!

Second, we inducted a new member, Rick Davenport. Rick will be contributing photos for our site here soon. We're all looking forward to working with Rick!

It's been a great year for the Chatsworth Lions. We had record sales for our $10,000 Give-Away tickets. We're expecting 2009 to be a busy year for us with a lot of opportunities to help folks in need.

Finally, have a great holiday and we'll see you all after the 1st of the year. Our next meeting will be January 6th. So... we'll see you all next year!

What would you do with $10,000?

The Chatsworth Lions will be giving away $10,000 on November 15th! Have you got your ticket yet? If not, you need to contact one of our members and get in on this great deal.

Remember, it's for a good cause. Your participation helps pay for glasses and eye exams right here locally. Folks in our community truly benefit, and you might just walk away with $10,000!

Chatsworth Lions - be sure to let Mickey know who you've sold to. It's helpful when we're having our call nights.

See you soon!

Fall For Chatsworth Festival 2008

The Chatsworth Lions enjoyed 2 days at the Annual Fall for Chatsworth Festival this weekend. Hayrides, Pintos and Cornbread, and Apple Dumplings were all a great success.

The park was a great place, and with a variety of entertainment and vendors it was definitely the place to be in Chatsworth this weekend.

Thanks to all the members that came out and participated in this fun event.

Cruise-In a Huge Success!

Wow! I bet I saw you there. The turn out was fantastic, and it was a great day for a Cruise in. I spent the afternoon taking pictures, and I've posted some of them online. You can check them out here:
