OK! I have to do better at communicating outside of text and email! ❣️

CALLING ALL LIONS! 🦁

I would LOVE to see a big turnout from our Owens Cross Roads Lions this Wednesday at 6:00 PM at the United Methodist Church!

We have a very special reason to show up loud and proud for someone who has certainly shown up for us.

Our very own District Governor Patrick Lenhart will be receiving a Melvin Jones Award, presented by State Rep Jerry Stephens.

Patrick has been such an incredible supporter of our club from the very beginning. He has encouraged us, guided us, answered our questions, celebrated our successes, and has always been willing to step in and help whenever we needed him. Now we have an opportunity to return some of that support.

Let's fill the room with Owens Cross Roads Lions and show Patrick just how much we appreciate him! 🦁💛

One quick housekeeping reminder...

If you have not yet paid your Lions dues, please bring a check with you Wednesday if you are able. Dues are now past due, and we want to make sure everyone who intends to be part of our club is officially on the roster.

That said, we never want money to be the reason someone can't be a Lion. If you need a little more time or have any concerns at all, please reach out privately to any member of our leadership team. We are happy to work with you.

President: Katie Arvidson
Vice President: Sheryl Roy
Secretary: Jennifer Liddle
Treasurer: Dan Arvidson

This club is made up of some pretty amazing people, and Wednesday is a great chance for us to do what Lions do best: SHOW UP.

See you Wednesday at 6:00! 🦁

WE SERVE!
Katie

💙🦁 WHAT A NIGHT, OWENS CROSS ROADS! 🦁❤️

Our 2nd Annual Owens Cross Roads Lions Club Spaghetti Dinner was a huge success, and we are so proud to share that together, we raised $2,653!

And here’s where that money is going:

🚒 $1,990 will go directly to the Owens Cross Roads Fire Department.
⛪ A portion will be given to Cross Roads United Methodist Church in appreciation for so graciously opening their doors and allowing us to use their church for this event.
🎓 The remaining funds will go toward a scholarship we are still working on to bless someone right here in our community.

That is what Lions Club is all about. ❤️

We are a 100% nonprofit organization. The people working, planning, cooking, serving, cleaning, selling tickets and putting these events together are volunteers. Everything we raise goes right back into serving our community.

And sometimes serving isn’t about raising money at all.

During the evening, we learned of a local family who could use a little extra love. Without sharing their story or their names, we were able to send them a huge tray of spaghetti, bags to freeze individual portions for later, and of course plenty of cookies, because cookies make almost everything a little better. 🍪❤️

Their gratitude reminded us of something important: sometimes the biggest blessing isn’t the food, the money or the gift. Sometimes it’s simply knowing someone noticed, someone cared, and someone showed up.

To every organization, business, volunteer, Lions Club member, community member and friend who helped make this evening possible, THANK YOU. Whether you donated, bought a ticket, cooked, served, entertained, cleaned, brought desserts, helped behind the scenes or simply showed up to support us, you were part of making this happen.

$2,653 raised. A fire department supported. A future scholarship funded. A local family blessed. And one community coming together to take care of its own.

We’d call that a pretty successful night. 🦁💙

And we’re already looking forward to finding the next way we can serve.

WE SERVE.
Where there’s a need, there’s a Lion!

(fellow Lions, I will be in touch when we are able to do the check presentation to the fire department. We’d love your presence for that.) 💙💛

We had a great time attending the first District 34-A Cabinet Meeting of the 2026–2027 year on Saturday!

As a new club, we learned so much about Lions beyond our own community, the resources and opportunities available to us and what’s happening throughout our district.

It was also great to meet and connect with fellow Lions from other clubs and learn from their experience.

We left the meeting with new knowledge, new connections and new ideas as we continue to grow and serve our community. 💛🦁💙

A very big thank you to Cross Roads UMC for allowing us to host and for the continued support!
