Dear Lions,
I’m sure many of us celebrate religious and family traditions in different ways this time of year. And especially this year, I know we’re all having to curtail many plans and travel itineraries as a result of the pandemic. One tradition I keep up during this season is the playing of Christmas music beginning on Thanksgiving through to Christmas Day. There’s one song that goes, “It’s beginning to look a lot like…a Blue Bear…” Oh wait…that’s not how it goes but it is a Blue Bear, thanks to the Denver Lions’ Club, that now sits on my piano keeping watch over a miniature, pewter nativity set.
I hope you are enjoying this creative holiday gift that First Vice President Loree Vanderhye helped us coordinate. The Blue Bear now reminds me daily of our wonderful club and it reminds me too that at some point in the not too distant future we will gather again as members in downtown Denver for our monthly lunches at Maggiano's.
Until then, know that I wish you and yours the best and most sacred of holidays (whichever holiday is most meaningful) and I look forward to seeing you in person in 2021!
Sincerely,
Lion President Brian Henderson
