Let's get ready for the 3rd Annual Tummy Rumble (aka Lions Chili Cookoff)

OK Lions Peeps.

3rd Annual Chili Cookoff The snow may be melting, but the "chill-" i is still on it's way. (OK, that was a little "corn-bready" but you get the idea...)

Due to the recent regular and board meetings being canceled, we have some lose strings to gather.
We need your help for total updates so we know how many tables to set up, bowls, drinks, spoons, etc. we will need.

1. If you've sold your tickets, that's FANTASTIC! Thank you. Please call or email Lion Tom with your totals. He will link up with you on getting the money.

2. If you've bought out your tickets and are handing them out for free, FANTASTIC! Please encourage everyone to attend. We have 22 teams making lots of amazing recipes, but we need people to eat and vote.

3. If you have bought out your tickets and have some left that you are NOT passing out, FANTASTIC! Please let Lion Tom know so we can donate them to West Central and Heart N Hand.

4. If you have a TEAM, that's FANTASTIC! Please let Lion Tom know the name of your team so we can get it registered with a fancy-schmancy identity (you know: so you aren't listed as just as Chili #12...)

5. If you STILL want to enter the contest with your own secret recipe, FANTASTIC! We have just 3 more slots left, and they are being filled first-come-first-serve. Who knows, you might even get a special flashing arrow hung above your table. (ok. not really, but we'll give you a big hug on Saturday.)

6. No just kidding,.. there's no #6.

Let Lion Tom know what you have left, sold, named and entered by phone or email at
(816) 739-2785 or [email protected]

Thanks.
Lion Tom

I encourage all of our members to attend this Saturday's meeting. We will be discussing the fast approaching Chili-Cookoff (Feb. 23rd). We will also be handing out tickets to sell. We are also still looking for contestants, so come show off your CHILI SKILLS. This is one of the more important fundraisers we have. All of this years proceeds will go to the Belton Education Foundations Snack Pack program. Many students rely on school provide breakfast and lunches to meet their nutritional needs. Some literally go the weekend with little or nothing to eat. This program provides them with healthy snacks/meals for the weekend. Another great opportunity for LIONS to make a HUGE difference in OUR COMMUNITY. If you are unable to attend this meeting feel free to contact me at 816-739-2785 to sign up or get your tickets. Thanks, Lion Tom
