Bunco Night

Posted on March 7, 2013 by Sally Sibulkin

This fun event is sponsored by the Women’s Club and is one of the Club’s scholarship fund-raisers. Bunco is a fast-paced dice game that is easy to learn. One switches tables and partners based on winning or losing at the table, so it is a great way to meet others in the community. The Women’s Club provides excellent refreshments and soda; it is also a BYOB event if you wish. There are CASH prizes if the lure of a good social time is not enough incentive. Come. Bring friends. Enjoy!

WHEN: Friday, April 5 WHERE: Lions Club COST: $15

Celebrating 50 Years of Being a Lion

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Sally Sibulkin

Last year, one of our members celebrated his 50th year of serving his community as a Lion. Shown in the photo below is President Ed Meskys with Lion Bob Purdy and his wife, Betty who, while not an “official” Lion has worked tirelessly for the club as well. Congratulations and thanks go to the Purdys!

Lions Raffle

Posted on December 1, 2012 by Sally Sibulkin

Every summer and into the fall, you will find smiling members of the Lions club offering you a chance to win $5,000. They will be wearing yellow aprons and are happy to speak to you at EM Heath’s or Aubuchon’s. The winning ticket is drawn at the annual Moultonborough Christmas Fair on the first Saturday in December.

The money earned (over the prize money) goes into the scholarship fund for local high school seniors. A little over $10,000 has been awarded in the past few years.

Below is a photo of the 2012 winner:

We will be looking for members to sign up to sell the lucky tickets come summer. You will be able to sign up for dates and times here when we get closer to the summer.

Dinner Meetings

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Sally Sibulkin

The third Monday of the month is usually when the Moultonborough Lion’s Club holds its dinner meetings. The evening starts at six with h’ors d’oeuvres provided by the members and a cash bar; dinner begins around seven pm and is often followed by a speaker. Attending a dinner meeting is a great way to meet and social with current members.

Special dinners are held as well. Once a year, the Bingo Babes (club members supporting the Bingo games held at the club house) cook a delicious dinner and serve it.

Ed Dobson is an “honarary “Babe)

and once a year we go to another Lion’s Club and share dinner with them. The photo below is our joint dinner meeting with the Whittier Club last year.

Mini Golf Team – Caregivers Fundraiser

Posted on October 25, 2012 by Sally Sibulkin

The Lions Club members form a team and sponsor a hole at the annual mini-golf fundraising event for Community Caregivers. Not only is this a worthy cause, it is a lot of fun. Maybe next year, we can have two teams.

Sutherland Park Service Project

Posted on April 25, 2012 by Sally Sibulkin

Dedicated to James Sutherland in 2000, Sutherland Park is a beautiful spot to sit and appreciate nature, take a trail walk, or launch a canoe or kayak. The Moultonborough Lions Club, along with Aubuchon’s Mark Tuckerman, chose this spot for its Adopt-a-Spot and has been weeding, planting, cutting bush, and other beautification tasks for several years with the help of local Scouts and the Moultonborough Academy Middle School students.
