2013 SPARKS GREENBRAE LIONS COMBO OUTING

SPARKS GREENBRAE LIONS HAS A COMBO SPECIAL!

 

Blood Drive - Eyeglass Collection - Membership Drive on April 6th at Denny's on Nugget Avenue in Sparks.
Even though the weather did not cooperate 100%, ten Green Beret's were out there donating blood, asking for Blood (donors) and looking for more members to join their very active club. An excellent way to grow, have fun and increase camaraderie!

Sparks Tribune - Two Blind to Ride

SPARKS — When you hear the list of visual impairments between the duo of Tauru Chaw and Christi Bruchok you might be surprised to find that pair's combined eyesight is nowhere near 20/20. You will be even more surprised to discover that the two of them are more than halfway through a 16,000-mile bike ride from South America to Alaska.

Red, White and Blue. And Proud of it!

Sparks Greenbrae Lions at Rita Cannan School for Flag Day Project.  A little over 100 flags were given to the students along with a history of the flag as well as the etiquette for handling our flag.  All the children were enthusiastic, willing to learn and of course, energetic.

In the last month, Sparks Greenbrae has given well over 500 flags to 3rd graders at five different elementary schools in the area.

SPARKS GREENBRAE LIONS PARTICIPATE IN MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY

 

On October 27th, members of the SGL Club took over 80 personal hygiene kits along with 80 tubes of shampoo donated by the Peppermill Hotel and two dozen toothbrushes donated by Sala Family Dentistry in Reno.

 

Lions Pat, Hugh, Shirley and Suraj took over the kits to the Record Street Homeless Shelter and met with Sandy Isham, Community Relations Officer for the Campus. They also received a tour of the facility which includes separate, Men, Women and Family Shelters, Good Shepherds Closet, a Medical Clinic, Restart Center, Reno Sparks Gospel Mission and a Triage Center for treatment of substance abuse.  It is a very neat and clean facility where the emphasis is on getting the clients to be productive members of society within six months or less.

SGL will be considering a Sock-Hop drive (collecting used and new socks) for the shelter, or sponsor a monthly birthday party at the Family Shelter, or filling the Holiday bags of cheer with toiletries for adults.

Region 1 Lions Clubs First ever 'EYE BALL' at the Reno Boys & Girls Club on 10/20/12!

Sparks Greenbrae Lions served Popcorn and Hot Dogs.  And provided Sparky at the door and a live Leo inside. Who is behind the furry face?  Walks funny, a weird accent and a penchant for south-of-the-border eats.  Hmmm?

 

Others Clubs provided Chicken skewers, cookies, cotton candy, candy apples, children's games, crafts; there was a costume contest, raffle drawing, silent auction, a bounce house and even a band for music.  $2200+ was raised which is not bad for a first-time event!

EL DORADO HOTEL ANNUAL GRAPE STOMP ~ 10.07.12

WHO WAS THAT MASKED MAN?  OR WOMAN? OR GHOSTBUSTER?

 

Northern Nevada Lions Clubs were out in full force again this year with members from Spanish Springs, Reno Arch, Reno Host and of course, Sparks Greenbrae.

Suffice to say none of the past winners were able to repeat any sort of success but 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners were friends of Sparks Greenbrae Lions.  So, the SGL members can still gloat for another 12 months.
