The Preston Lions Club met at Historic Forestville on Monday, May 13, 2013 at 6:30 p.m. to spend an enjoyable evening in a peaceful setting. The Lions members were met by Sandy Scheevel, Site Manager, and John Grabko, Site Supervisor. The event began with a delicious catered meal by the Gateway Inn of Wykoff, Minn. The dinner bell was rung by John Grabko and the club members filed into the kitchen of the Meighen home where they filled their plates and returned outside to eat at tables in the back yard.
Following the meal the Lions held their regular meeting. President Ken Stager called the meeting to order then reviewed old business and approved the minutes of the last meeting. Ongoing business was discussed as well as future plans for the group. The Lions Club held a breakfast during Trout Days and arrangements were made for who would be able to help with the task.
One particularly exciting moment of the evening occurred when the members bought and received their First Annual Commemorative Trout Days pins. This was eventful because “only one hundred pins were made and then the cast was broken so no more can be made,” explained Ken Stager. Each pin is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The annual pins will highlight a different type of trout each year with the first year featuring a brook trout. Each pin also has the Lions logo and the Preston Lions Club name on it.
The pins were being sold during Trout Days 2013 for eight dollars each and will continue to be sold until gone. The Lions Club presented John Grabko and this visiting reporter each a Trout Days pin which was an honor for each of us. Anyone wishing to purchase a Trout Days pin can contact President Ken Stager at (507) 765-5299 or any Lions member.
The Lions Club is a charitable organization that serves the local and world communities. The Lions Motto is “We Serve - our youth, our community, our world.” The Preston Lions Club has 28 members who are active with many programs to help those in need. One priority of the Lions Club is to assist the blind and visually impaired and there are many programs included in their efforts. The Lions Club holds fundraisers throughout the year to provide and support these programs.
A few of the programs the Lions offer to youth are college scholarships, eye exams and eye glass purchases, as well as International Youth Exchange. Some of the many ways the Lions C .....
