Lion John Kobland has volunteered to Chair the Advertising Committee. Fellow Lions, when Lion John asks for your assistance, please be generous with your time. A sign-up sheet will be circulated at the October 5 meeting.
President Alex attended the USA Canada Leadership Forum this year, and has asked Lion Bob V, who is the Forum Promotion Chair for the District, to give a short presentation on the Forum during one of the October meetings.

The Cranbury Lions has donated $2000 to Katrina Relief, through LCIF. We are still trying to arrange a “Donation Specific” Fundraiser in the form of an Adult Halloween Costume Party, the proceeds of which will go to Katrina Relief. Unfortunately, we need a location to do this type of fundraiser. At this writing, time has become short, but any Lion with a barn, or if you know someone who would be willing to donate their barn, or similar location, where we can hold a party on Saturday, October 29th, please advise Lion Bob V, ASAP.
The 72nd Annual Children’s Halloween
Party will be in the school on Halloween from
Even though we have begun sending a new “Calendar of Events” with the dues mailings, we’d like to remind all members to please, share the Jargon with your Spouse, so that our events may be better scheduled on your personal, or family, calendars for better attendance.
Great News! The Cranbury Lions will be doing a Winter Fundraiser this year. We will be holding an Art Auction with the Friends of the Library. More information will be forthcoming in future issues of the Jargon.
The
Cranbury Lions Barn Project is
moving along – slowly, but still moving. Lion Frank Brennan III has helped with

Reminders
Frank Marlowe has been our Program Chair for a few years
now, and has done quite an excellent job lining up speakers for our meetings
each month. You can all imagine how difficult it can be, finding 20 speakers
per year that will be of relative interest to all our Members! We all come in contact with someone
interesting on a regular basis. When you
do, or if you have any
suggestions for speakers, please give Frank a call, or e-mail him at marlowe@cranburynj.com . Additionally, Frank
will take all members’ suggestions for interactive discussion nights.
The Cranbury Lions Club is in search of new fund raisers – different, entertaining, and fun. Some excellent ideas have been presented, among which are an antique car rally, a Halloween party, a casino night, Bingo, an art auction, a cruise, and a marathon; the Board of Directors would appreciate input from our membership on these, or any new, ideas. Any member who has a fundraising idea should share the idea with President Alex. The list of potential fundraisers, and the input from interested Lions, will be discussed at a Board of Directors meeting, and presented to the general membership at a regular meeting.
It is important that we increase our fundraising capability
without requesting money from our small community over and over again. With
over 300 commercial locations in our immediate area, the website is one of the
easiest and best fundraisers we have. We ask every member to please try to
bring in at least one advertiser per year. Refer all advertising leads to Lions
Ray Dickey,
Any member who learns of the sickness or death of another
member, or in a member’s family, or any other similar incident or emergency,
should contact Lion
