Presidents Message Dear Fellow Lions:

Fall is upon us with all its glory. I love seeing all the colors and

even the crisp air in the morning. Winter will soon be here but

enjoy this weather as much you can.

November is diabetes awareness month a meal and speaker is

planned for our membership meeting November 5.

Ocktoberfest was well attended with many lions working and

participating in the silent auction. The food was good and

social was even better. I want to thank everyone involved for

all their hard work and dedication to make this event a

success. As a Lions Club we have many talents to share with

the Cross Plains community “We Serve”.

The opening of Main Street Party was quite a hit. I heard some

numbers and was amazed. The Lion Train was is in operation.

Lion Doc pulled the caboose and Lion Jim with his garden

tractor pulled seven barrel riders. We were busy from 3 to 6. I

told Doc never expected this many riders, but again “We

Serve”

Worlds Fair discussion was a topic last meeting. As President

going back to the committee suggesting One Day Event with

Fireworks as your headliner event. The club does not want the

Worlds Fair to go away by show of hands. But we need to do

something to revamp and bring new ideas to the table. Please

think about again “We Serve”

In closing I want to thank everyone in this Lions Club. Every

member participates and extends expertise and advice. My

job as President has been made much easier because of all

your help.

Again “We Serve”

President Jim Albertson

Important News (Please read)

We would like more Lions to use Email Lions, remember every little bit saved, helps our club out a lot. I send out around 12 to 14 Newsletters and Special Notices a year. Each of these mailings cost our club 45 cents each. Times that by 14 and that equals $6.30 a year per Lion. This can add up to be a huge saving at the end of the year. Please, Cross Plains Lions, if you have an email address, let me know as soon as possible. Thank you, Lion PP Phone: 608-445-6348 Email: [email protected]

Special Notice New Calendar of Events I have updated the calendar. If you have any additions or correction please call me at: Phone:445-6348 Email: [email protected]

Sidewalk at railroad crossing

Everyone must realize that this is not set in stone as of yet. This is only an idea. They may go with something

entirely different. They are hoping for some kind of a crossing to be in place with the trail which crosses the

Rail Road tracks. The concrete sidewalk will only be at the Rail Road Crossing, it will not cover the whole trail.

Update of OcktoberFest Page 7

Cross Plains Lions

Oktoberfest 2015 Update This year’s Oktoberfest had very good support from the Cross Plains Lions, their families, and other Lions from around district 27-

D1. The weather was very warm and the Badgers game may have put a damper on attendance from our Cross Plains Community.

Even with the smaller crowd the silent auction receipts were approximately $1,463.00 and the advance ticket sales were $1,760.00

for a total excluding ticket sales at the door of $3,223.00. Our Treasurer Lion John Griffin will have the total receipts including the

ticket sales at the door, and a complete report including expenses will be available at the November Cross Plains Lions Meeting.

Special Thanks To

All of the Lions and their families who helped make this year’s Oktoberfest a success.

Lion Pete Cerniglia for his spirited performance as our DJ this year.

The Hill Top for donating the cooking of the pork.

Lions President Jim Albertson for donating the potatoes

Lion Lisa Laschinger for donating the materials and decorating the Legion hall for Oktoberfest.

J Graphics LLC. For donating the meal tickets and posters.

All of those who donated items to the silent auction.

A final report for this year’s Oktoberfest will be presented at the November Cross Plains Lions meeting. The Oktoberfest

committee is working on some ideas that will make it easier to sell advance tickets and increase community participation at next

year’s Oktoberfest. Please attend the November Cross Plains Lions meeting for further information and read future editions of the

Cross Plains Lions Newsletter.

Thank You For All You Do
