Next in line as 1st Vice President is Dallas Caster, a previous president of the Club, Dallas has served many roles in his years as a Lion and is a local veterinarian.

Ellen Caster will continue as Secretary; Gary Adkins will continue as Treasurer with Mary Adkins retaining her role as Projects Coordinator and Laura Timmons as Membership Chair. Michele Reese will continue her involvement as editor of the Auburn News Volume 6, Number 11 and assisting with projects promotion. Each and every Lion is important to the Club and to Auburn. Some certainly are more involved than others; some are aging and have physical limitations but all are important. Perhaps in this coming year, 2017-2918, you will step up to help if you are already a member or join the Club if you are interested. For a limited time new members can enjoy a reduced membership during this Lions Clubs International s Centennial Year (through June 10). Contact one of the Lions for any questions or to say, Yes to being a Lion that cares about Auburn, Kansas and the world. Congratulations to all the Lions officers and coordinators. Watch for what the Lions will be doing in Auburn to make our community an even better place in which to live.

Auburn News Auburn Lions Club Primary Business Address Address Line 2 Phone: 555-555-5555 Fax: 555-555-5555 Email: someone@example.com Lions Clubs International was founded June 7, 1917 by businessman Melvin Jones at Chicago, Illinois. His personal code was, "You can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else." The Lions mission is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding through Lions Clubs. Lions worldwide will celebrate their centennial in 2017 with the theme Where There s a need, there s a Lion. Today, there are 46,000 clubs in every corner of the world. The Auburn Lions Club was organized on April 21, 1965 by a group of men who cared about this community. Later, when women were added as Lions in 1987, Auburn, too, welcomed women into the Club. Today there are 20 men and women serving as Lions in Auburn. Club growth is always a goal. Interested? Contact Membership Chair Laura Timmons at 256-2163 or any of the Auburn Lions.
