Show It!

When we strolled into the Open House The Sunnyside Lions were hosting at our visit we were greeted with the smell of what would prove to be an amazing dinner and a Welcome Display table. On the table was a three science fair boards displaying pictures of each of the club members and descriptions of the service projects and programs the Sunnyside Lions are involved in.

What a simple and amazing idea. As visitors we were not only able to scoot back over to the table when we forgot the name of someone we had been introduced to but we could also have a frame of reference for what the club was involved in.

VDG Crystal liked the idea so much that we began asking clubs on our visits to prepare a similar board to bring to the March 10 and 11 District conference on a great project or several great project each club undertakes. We have asked clubs to also provide a handout sheet of paper or even a simple brochure for other clubs to take home so shared ideas could be tried or modified in different towns.

For instance, Nezperce and Lind could put together a board on their Combine Demolition Derby. Washtuchna could do a show and tell and how to on Community Bingo. Waitsbug could show and tell a Salmon or Barbecue Feed. Zillah and Granger might show off their Turkey Bingo Fundraisers. Harrington could highlight their Harrington Days. Palouse could showcase their involvement with Scouting. College Place could detail their Fishing Derby. West Valley and Prescott could showcase their new parks. Walla Walla Eastgate and Dayton could show off their Crab Feeds. This list does go on and on and on.

Every club we have visited has great projects they have accomplished or are currently involved with. We ask that every club come to conference and bring a Sunnyside like display to showcase.

We will have a browse about room set up at the Marcus Whitman for clubs to display their boards where Lions can informally exchange ideas.

You Guys are Great. Show it off a little bit!
