This Weeks Speaker  - October 10
The Denver Lions Club has a lot of projects and programs.  But how do we fund all of this …. The Denver Lions Foundation.  As members of the Club we are also members of the Foundation.  At our meeting on Tuesday October 10 we will the Foundation will give its annual report.  We will learn where funds come from and how they are spent.  Our Lions Club does a lot of good work and this is how it gets done.  It is a way Lions "Pay It Forward"
Next Speaker - Tuesday October 17
Sam Bailey, VP at Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce. 
 
The Denver Lions are members of the Chamber with the goal of expanding our visibility among the Denver business leaders. But the Chamber does more than networking.  This year the Chamber is celebrating 150 years of service to Denver.  It has had a significant impact on the economic policy and development in the region. 
 
Sam joined the Metro Denver EDC in August 2017. As vice president of economic development, Sam manages economic development efforts and develop strategic initiatives to expand the Metro Denver region’s economic competitiveness and ability to attract leading industries and talented workers. He most recently served as president and Chief Executive Officer of the Jefferson County Economic Development Corporation in Golden, where he managed a team of four staff members, led business recruitment and expansion activities, and enhanced public and private sector engagement in the community’s economic development efforts. Previously, Sam worked as a senior manager of global business development for the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. Sam holds a Bachelor of Arts and Science in Economics and Political Science from Regis University. He serves as Vice Chairman on the Board of Directors for Colorado Companies to Watch and serves as a Professional Development Mentor and Board Member of the Regis University Young Alumni Board.

King Soopers Cards
King Soopers grocery cards, do you have one?
Do you buy groceries? Do you know anyone who does?
When you purchase them you can put as little or as much as you like in the way of cash value and give them to friends or family.
 
Each transaction will give the Lions 5% of the total. Five Percent!
 
These magic little plastic cards can be purchased from Lion Susana (Susy) Osorio Kinsky.
It is the gift that keeps on giving!

Denver Metro Net 90 Event
Denver Lions are members of the Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce.  The goal of our Chamber membership is to attain interest from the many business leaders.  A key event is Net 90 -- a networking event with over 200 people attending in a trade show style. As a result of being a part of this in the past, we have gained two new members.   At this event, we talk to a lot of people and while they may not join, we bring awareness to the Lions Club.
 
At this event, we have a booth and need Lions to network.  It is not time consuming and helps promote what we do.  Thank you in advance.
