24 Golfers, 6 foursomes, 30 dinner attendees and prizes for all! We played a step aside scramble format that allows for players of all levels to contribute and have fun. We blindly selected 12 holes to choose the scores from for the team's total score.
Winning Team with a 42: Mark Williamson, Kennedy Brooks, Peter Putze and Bill Firman (I'm assuming Mark will get Club applications to his three companions??). They each won $20 gift certificates to Meadow Hills Golf Shop and a selection of Mead Wine donated by Dwight Steen. 2nd Place Team with a 46: Ned Nagle, Kendra Padgett, John Padgett, Don Kayon (again, I'm sure Ned is getting his three teammates applications as well....). They each won $20 gift certificates to Meadow Hills Golf Shop. Last Place Team: There was a tie! But because this team scored a double bogey on the #1 hole, they get the prize: Fletcher Brown, John Molberg, Marie Wheatley, and Peter Johnson. They each get a $20 gift certificate to Meadow Hills Golf Shop. The team they tied was Don Smith, Ron Abo, Bill Adams, and Bob McCormick. Both teams had a 52.
Thanks again to all the other players as well. Bob Sweeney, Jim Nussbaum, Don Peterson (he is going to join the club!), and Patrick Sweeney scored a 51 and Russ Lynn, Wen Johnson, Chris Raton, and Steve Krebsbach scored a 48.
We had a wonderful Italian dinner with enough to take home at the end of the night and of course the bar was open and there was an Emerson sighting there drinking his beer. Thanks to all who came to the dinner to join the golfers: Linda Nussbaum, Kathy Adams, Eileen Smith, Rod & Phyllis Wicklund, Dwight & Peggy Steen, Dave Weisberg, Debrah Krebsbach, and the aforementioned, Emerson.
A HUGE thanks to our fellow Denver Den Lions who contributed to the event and helped to pay for all the prizes that were raffled off. Dave Weisberg, John Love, Emerson Bales, Bill Henderson, Bill Adams, Ned Nagle, Steve Krebsbach, and Dwight Steen. And thanks to Don Smith for coming early to help set up.
And of course, thanks to our yearly donations from Argonaut Liquors - Wine of the Month Club, Maggiano's - Gift certs, and Heritage Eagle Bend Eagle's Nest Restaurant - $50 certificate.
By the end of the evening, everyone walked home with a nice prize. Our list of prizes given away: Argonaut, Maggiano's and Eagle's Nest certificates; Lions Beer Glass; decanter Set; Lions Coffee Cups; Titleist Golf Balls; Steamboat Condo Use; Soft Hose; Home Sweet Home welcome mat; folding chair; water gun; BBQ tools; Bluetooth speaker; Bluetooth headphones; cooler; Lion head cover; Caddyshack towel; Callaway balls; Cheesecake Factory, Darden Restaurant, Olive Garden and Chilis restaurant certificates.
Mark your calendars now for June 2, 2020. That's our tentative date for the golf outing next year.
As our attendance grows every year, I would like to form a Year-End Golf and Banquet Committee. Looking for 2-3 to help put everything together next year. Let me know if you are interested.
A big Lions Roar for Lion Steve (Bogie Boy) Krebsbach for making this a great event.
SAVE THE DATES FOR VOLUNTEERING A “Day out with Thomas” at the Colorado Railroad Museum.
The Railroad Museum is hosting the “Thomas the Tank Engine” for the 17th consecutive year and the Denver Lions have an opportunity to be Thomas Volunteers and help with this year’s program. Last year Denver Lions volunteered 32 shifts and they all said they had a blast. With the number of volunteers, the Museum did not charge us for the use of the pavilion. We again need volunteers this year.
Thomas will be running for three weekends. September 7/8, 14/15, 21/22
Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank Ushers in New Leadership
After nearly a year of succession planning and preparation, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank’s board of directors announced that John Lohmeier, CEBT, will transition to the position of executive director on July 1, 2019. Lion Ed Jacobs, who has led the eye bank for 37 years, will remain with the organization as a senior advisor. PDG Joe Rall, the eye bank board president, said that being able to consult with Lion Ed Jacobs as the organization continues to move forward under a new leader strengthens the eye bank.
“Far too often, retirements mean a loss of institutional knowledge and experience,” he said, “We are very pleased to be able to look forward with new, capable leadership while also retaining the advice and counsel of the man who brought us where we are today as a world-class eye bank.”
Mr. Lohmeier has been with the organization since 1999 and is currently the technical manager, which is responsible for the daily technical functions of the eye bank. His eye banking experience has great depth, having also served as the quality assurance manager and in active commi8ee roles with the Eye Bank Association of America. Mr. Lohmeier has been instrumental in fostering the eye bank’s advancements in research and eye banking technology.
A big Lion Roar for Lion Ed for all his service with the Lions Eye Bank.
