DARE TO DREAM! Order Peace Poster Kits by October 1st

DEADLINE FOR ORDERING PEACE POSTER CONTEST KITS IS OCTOBER 1ST!

The 2023-2024 Peace Poster Contest Theme is “Dare to Dream”

To a young person, a dream isn’t just a wish, hope or desire — it’s a path, a goal, an ambition. But achieving that dream takes hard work. So this year, we’re asking young people to show how they’ll turn their dream of a peaceful world into reality.

Make a difference to the youth in your community!!  Give them an opportunity to shine!! The deadline for ordering your club’s Peace Poster Contest kit from LCI is Oct. 1st and the deadline for submitting an entry to the District Governor is Nov. 15th.

Bozeman Area Lions Clubs Receive $125,000 LCIF Grant to benefit HRDC.

BOZEMAN, Mont. — HRDC’s marketplace at the Community Commons is receiving help purchasing eight pieces of new equipment through a huge grant.  The Lions Clubs International Foundation awarded three Bozeman area Lions Clubs a joint grant of more than $125,000.  The new equipment will help gear up HRDC’s Gallatin Valley Food Bank and Fork and Spoon restaurant.  Lions Club members are glad to provide necessary tools for the HRDC.

“What else can we do to help our community to make it more efficient and to save on food that was being thrown away because it couldn’t be stored properly or wasted, and that’s what it makes it so exciting,” said Jeff Cotterell, president of the Bozeman Lions Club.

“We saw a need here with the food bank to enhance their food storage capabilities, and Lions Club International, that’s what we do. We step up with our Lions Club Foundation,” said Brian Gertiser, District 37 governor elect for Lions Clubs International.

Organizers with the HRDC are grateful for the grant and are looking to put their new equipment to use as soon as possible.
