46 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, January 26, 1988 Lions 50th anniversary by Stan Rickard On November 21, 1987 the Port Perry Lions Club celebrated 50 years of service in the Scugog com- munity, in Canada and in the Inter- national scene. Since 1937 the Club has had its ups and downs. Member- ship has varied from 12 to 60. The present membership is 28. But regardless of numbers the Club has + always kept its focus constant: The "focus is based on just two words: "We Serve." The cooperation and support of the community has always been positive and generous. In turn the Lions have provided services such as: Help for the needy, Assistance in cases of diabetes, drug abuse, blindness, deafness. Youth pro- grams have been promoted through Athletic activities, Science Fairs, Youth Exchanges, Public Speaking, Playground equipment, and Com- "mencement awards. The local hospital has received grants totall- ing several thousands of dollars. "Inthe January, 1988, Scugog Lions Newsletter one paragraph ex- emplifies the wide range of services provided in just that one month: "Grants were approved for the following: Boy Scouts, Scugog Com- munity Care, Durham Lung Association, Operation Eyesight, Minor Hockey Uniforms, and a Needy Family." During the past two years the Club has donated new seating and [.LV.A.C. machines to the local hospital. These donations, valued at several thousand dollars, were made in responsef to the needs in- dicated by the hospital. These items assist the nursing staff to care for patients and to better accommodate the patients and their visitors. After 50 years, many people are tempted to look for the secret of eternal life or at lest some type of rejuvenation, in their personal life, to keep young. For a Lions Club, re- juvenation is essential. For that reason the Lions of Ontario and of Scugog in particular have planned a membership drive to take place during the months of January," February and March 1988. Each member is being asked to bring a guest, who may be a potential member, to a regular meeting dur- ing these months. There are no age restrictions but the main require- ment is the desire to serve. Lions Clubs are now chartered in 162 Food bank is needed In September of 1987 the Ministerial Association approaehed the Scugog Social Planning Council 'requesting that a working commit- tee be established to study all aspects of the local need for food and clothing assistance. The need for . such a service has been well documented both by the Association and local Social Services Workers. In Scugog Township there are ap- proximately fifty families struggl- ing to meet basic needs as housing costs congume up to 60 per cent of the. =~ umes. Used clothing has been * astributed by Anne Wan- ninkhof from her home for fifteen years and recently local churches have been distributing food to those in need on an ad hoc basis. The committee, with members from Social Services, the Ministerial Association, the Social Planning Council and Township Council as well as some interested individuals, has recommended that a food and clothing depot be established. This recommendation was approved at the November 30th meeting of the Social Planning TOWNSHIP of MARIPOSA NOTICE RE: 1988 DOG TAGS Council. The administration of the facilities will be the responsibility of Operation Scugog which is a benevolent fund established ten years ago by the Social Planning Council to meet the needs of needy people within the Township of Scugog. The facility will be staffed with volunteers. It is hoped that the Clothing Depot, to be known as the "Operation Scugog Store," will be self-supporting. Donated good used clothing will be offered for sale to the public at rummage sale prices. Things are well underway. A site has been rented, shelving has been donated, food and clothing and some funds have also been contributed. A staff is being assembled and final details are being dealt with.
