Swimming Lessons!
Our next big club project is our Swimming Lessons program, which will be held at Camp Arrah Wanna again this year. We began giving Swimming Lessons in 2019 and then took a 2-year break so we could all have Covid 19. We’ve been going strong since 2022. Lion David Buoy is our chairman, and he is helped by a wonderful crew of Lions. We are planning to begin registration for this year’s lessons by mid-May. We are also making plans to be able to instruct up to 90 kids again this year. Swimming lessons will begin on Monday June 16th through Friday June 20th and begin again on Monday June 23rd thru Friday June 27th. More to come in next month’s column.
Chuckwagon Breakfast!

We’ll keep you informed on these and other events in future columns.
It’s great to be a Lion.
