What a fun time to visit Animal Allies Humane Society to deliver a Trex bench as part of our soft plastic recycling efforts.

Hello there!

I’d like to introduce myself. I am the new Lions District 5M10 emergency response trailer.  I was donated to the district by a very thoughtful gentleman from Iowa when he heard about our plans to develop a mobile response program to assist individuals in need.

The premise of my existence is simple: I am available for use by any Lion or club in our district to assist with any type of disaster response, humanitarian, or hunger project anytime, anywhere. From helping people displaced by forest fires in northern Canada to hurricanes in the southern US, I’ll go anywhere the Lions want to take me as long as there’s a road to get us there.

You may find me hauling food, clean water, flood cleanup equipment, bedding/household goods, or anything else that is needed to help those that need it. On my days off, you’ll probably see me around the district at parades and festivals.

Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion. And I’ll be there too.

PS: Please excuse this picture of me in my birthday suit. I will be getting a Lions themed wrap soon.

🥞🍁 DON'T LET CONSTRUCTION GET IN THE WAY OF YOUR SHORTSTACK! 🥞🍁

Railroad Street will be down to ONE LANE on Thursday, May 7, which means a little extra traffic during Duluth Lions Club Pancake Day.

(We know you have feels right now, but with a little patience, everyone will get carb loaded, we promise)

Also, if you work downtown, you can do your fellow syrup seekers a solid and walk via Skywalk's NORTHWEST PASSAGE.

GOOD NEWS: The weekend's graduation ceremonies should have clear lanes into the DECC.

(Thanks to our intern Jacob for this great graphic)
