Remembering Lion Egon Harrasser
June 24, 2022
Lion Egon receiving his Melvin Jones Award
Another sad day for Redding Breakfast Lions Club.
Lion Egon was so influential in many projects for the Lions and within the community. I know his pet project was the Turtle Bay Run. His love for running was apparent. Winning many awards in his division. His devotion to making things happen to create the Turtle Bay race each year was outstanding.
I didn’t know Egon for any great length of time, but have been around to hear many stories. He did show me some pictures once of him in his Easter Bunny costume.
Been to the school as he talked about the history of the colonies. Went on some vision testing and was graced with many experiences of his life. He lived a life full of every emotion, some terrifying, some exciting, but all that made him someone extraordinarily special.
Presidential Test
June 2022
Hmm… On Thursday June 16th, we got our first trial run. I guess that is what you call it.
Our president elect for 2022 – 2023 Redding Breakfast Lions Club, decided he would like to run his first meeting.
“Charlie Follis Day”, I have known Lion Charlie before he was a Lion. Many things I learned about his family history on Thursday was extremely interesting.
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
May 2022
There have been many inspiring speakers at our Thursday morning meetings.
Great job to all those that have reached out to our community and brought them to our club.
Been compiling a stack of information on my desk… meaning to get busy after each meeting to write about it. But alas, other things have seemed to take a priority. So today I decided it is time to at least recognize those that have given their time to inspire our spirits.

Lions Ava & Allan 2022 Convention Food Fair
The Lion’s Annual District 4C-1 Convention seems to not be a favorite of not only Redding Breakfast Lions Club, but many others. Sad but true.
With it being in our neck of the woods, it’s a missed opportunity for gathering of like minds. We are of like minds, right? I mean, we all care about our community and our pet projects for the Shasta County region.
But I get it. Many feel it’s boring, a waste of time, and NO FUN!
True, many parts are boring and appear to be a waste of time.
FUN… yes! Maybe even detrimental to the waistline. Continue reading
