May Meetings and More
Written by Mary Stephenson
Again inspired by the great speakers this club has enjoyed. Thanks to all the members who have been diligent with this endeavor.
On May 26th Danielle Arendt came to tell us about United Way serving the North State. So many services I had no idea was available for even the middle class. Where if one is not rich enough to afford some extended help, but not poor enough to automatically receive help. Usually the ones that are left out until they have exhausted all their funds to finally get much needed services.
Inspiring Programs for the Community

FUN… yes! Maybe even detrimental to the waistline. Continue reading
Remembering Lion Charlie Duncan

One of Redding Breakfast Lions Club’s oldest members, Lion Charlie Duncan is no longer with us. As each one had the floor this morning there were some very fond memories shared. All depicting his character of kindness and the laughs he provided.
I always got a kick out of his years of experience. I tried to write it down one day, but didn’t get my pen out fast enough. Maybe he was 150 years old. Just kidding, but he definitely lived a very busy life.
We were also honored to have District Governor Lion Karen Crook visit. Reminding us all about the Lion Convention on April 8th, 9th, and 10th.
Lion Egon gave us some of his childhood history and as a young man going to Canada (my homeland).
