Two good opportunities

Many of us attended the Presque Isle annual meeting in May, and heard first-hand how much our Lions and Lioness Clubs give back to the community.    I thought I could find my notes from that meeting, but I believe it was around $7000 which they raise and contribute annually to do good work in Presque Isle.

 Chuck lets us know of two chances to be a part of the Lions' programming.    Is anyone interested in getting together a group of Carlin people and enjoying the fish boil on June 24th?  Let's talk, and decide on a time we could meet there for supper that evening.

 

1.  The Lions Club will be sponsoring a 'Lake Superior whitefish boil' at the Community Center on Wednesday, June 24.  We will be bringing the fish down from Bayfield the previous day to assure freshness.  Tickets are $15, with all proceeds going back into the community for Lions projects.  Call Chuck (686-7257) for details.

 

2.  The Lions are once again sponsoring a 'kids' fishing contest between now and Labor Day.  The contest is open to kids, ages 2-15, with prizes including UP North gift certificates, lures, and award certificates.  There are nine species, ranging from muskies to pumpkin seeds.  All fish must be caught on a Presque Isle lake, and the angler must accompany his/her catch when registering at Up North.  Other contest rules are available at UP North, or by calling Chuck at 686-7257.  Grandparents of Carlin Lake, here's your chance when family visit! 

 

Thanks, Chuck, for letting us know about these projects!
