Our annual Dictionary Project was a success at Spencer-Owen Community Schools. For many years now, we have provided each 3rd grade student at Spencer, Patricksburg, Gosport, and McCormick's Creek Elementary Schools with their own copy of Webster's Dictionary for Students. Lion Tony Neff took the lead on this. Now, they are further empowered to learn even more. Many thanks to the schools for their coordination and for your community support that made this project possible.

Join us down at our building from 5:30pm to 8:00pm this Saturday evening for candy as part of our "Sight Night" and the Town of Spencer's Halloween hours. Our club members prepared a large number of candy bags for every child at Gosport, Spencer, McCormick's Creek, and Patricksburg Elementary Schools. We will also have extras floating around and available at our building. This is also a great opportunity for you to bring your unused/old pairs of eyeglasses for donation, as we're accepting them. We are located on Main Street, one block NW of the Owen County Courthouse square.

We are very proud of our own Spencer Lions Club member Tom Schultz--he serves as the Indiana Lions District 25-C Governor and recently, a "Banner Night" dinner and ceremony was conducted to formalize this. Several clubs from around the district, current and past Lions Club leaders and members joined in on the occasion. Congratulations Tom!

The Spencer Lions Club Apple Butter Festival Parade begins at 1:00pm this Saturday September 19th. This is a big part of the festival, drawing peak crowd size. Here are all of the details.

For organizations that have already registered to be in the parade, staging will occur on the southeast side of town beginning at Noon--be sure to locate a Lions Club member who will have the master list. Please be patient and allow plenty of time to get into place. Be mindful of the direction of travel and that the entire area will be congested. Late entries will be assigned to the back of the parade. Lion Jim Query is the main contact at 812-829-4496 for questions concerning entries.
For folks wanting to watch the parade, you will be able to view it from anywhere along Main Street. There will be some booth spaces along the courthouse side of Main Street—keep this in mind when planning for a spot in that area. The parade will travel from south to north. For safety, we kindly ask that everyone stay on or behind the curbs to allow clear passage of parade entries. Keep children back and do not go into the street to pick up candy.

Announcing will be done from the Spencer Lions Club tent on Main Street by Lion Anton Neff.

The Spencer Police Department will be handling traffic control. There will be No Parking allowed along Main Street. Officers will redirect traffic on the very south and north ends of the route. There will be brief pauses for east-west traffic via Morgan Street SR46/SR67/US231 during the parade time frame.

We're expecting clear weather during the parade--we're looking forward to seeing you!
