Bethel Lions Club very busy this time of year Howdy Folks, Last week was a busy one for Ruth Ann and me. On Wednesday evening we held a Lions Club Zone meeting here at Bethel. I will explain about the Lions Zone meeting, there are five Lions Clubs in zone five of District 13-H. We are to have three zone meetings per year. Ruth Ann and I are the zone chairmen for zone five. The District Governor is Clark VaanScyoc. He will be this for one year along with his lovely wife, Lion Miriam. The reason for the zone meetings is that it lets everyone hear how each club works to help support their community. For instance eye research, buying eye glasses for students and seniors etc. The Bethel Lions Club adopted a family
Colorado for the flood relief and most recent to Illinois for the tornado relief through the Lions International. Wednesday morning Past District Governor Frank Hacker after eating breakfast passed away. This was a shock to the Lions Clubs. He and his wife Judy were planning to come to the Zone meeting that evening here at Bethel. The Lions Clubs are collecting used eye glasses and they are sent to other countries where they are needed for people that don’t have the money to buy them, so give your old glasses to any Lion Club member. Ruth Ann and I attended another funeral of a young lady that has judged the crafts at the Grange. Her mother Violet is a member of
to furnish a Thanksgiving meal and have adopted two seniors through George the ClerRooks mont SenOLE FISHERMAN ior Services for Christmas gifts. The club as you know was very helpful in the tornado of Moscow, Tate Township and some of Brown County. The club have four pancake breakfasts each year. The next pancake breakfast will be 7:30 till 10:30 a.m., Dec. 21 at the BetelTate High School. The cost is $5 and $3 for 12 years and under. The Bethel Club is also involved with the school in many ways. Making donations to
the Monroe Grange. This young lady, Linda Faye was a very crafty person making quilts and other items then giving some away to other folks. She was a very charitable person. On the memory card was this reading; Mother Dear, beautiful things in this life are manifold, tis true we count the stars by thousands the birds, flowers too. The sunsets and dawning rare beauties far and near, but all the wide world over there is just one Mother dear. Thursday Ruth Ann and I had our friends Mort and Barb here for the noon meal. Mort has been sick but is getting better. They sure enjoyed the meal. The menu was pot roast beef, potatoes, carrots, deviled eggs, tossed salad, breadmaker
bread and for desert apple crisp, coffee and cider for drinks. This gal of mine is a fine cook and always sets a good table. Mort said, “this is real food” and they enjoyed every bite. We are busy in the workshop when we have the time making jewelry boxes, wood bowls, bird feeders and birdhouses for next spring. We have a craft show Nov. 23 at Goshen Lions Club and will have another show at Mowrystown School from 9 a.m. till 3 p.m. on Dec. 7 They also have a Christmas parade with Santa Claus. They have had the parade for many years and a good attendance. When we had the old 1936 Case tractor we took it and got in the parade. I enjoyed the
parade though it was cold. Speaking about Santa Claus, The Milford Garden Center will have their train display and Santa on weekends starting soon. Sunday the Owensville Historical Society held their meeting with a special speaker for Veterans Day. Howard Daugherty and wife it was something the way the soldiers lived and worked, everybody enjoyed his talk. Start your week by going to the house of worship of your choice and praise the Good Lord. God Bless All More Later. George Rooks is a retired park ranger. Rooks served for 28 years with the last five as manager of East Fork State Park.
