cars, winners ranging all the way from a 1927 Ford “T” to a 1994 Chevy

Baretta, and did you catch a look at those dragsters? Lion Linda’s break-

fast is always a welcomed offering and looked forward to by all partici-

pants and we SOLD OUT. Lion Jeff was hopping mak-

ing his “world famous” Bloody Mary’s and he SOLD OUT

after making 6 gallons worth. Lion Roberta’s Tri Tip

sandwiches were SOOO yummy, and Lion Jean Marie’s hot

dog bistro worked together to feed the hungry and they

SOLD OUT. All those Lion boys were awesome with their

hands outstretch collecting $717.25 in parking donations;

which, goes into our Playground Fund. Road Test played as

great as ever, love that 50’s music. Thank

you all that donated raffles, it’s always a

good money maker and brought in

$1,156.00. I so apologize, I was working

the hot dog booth when the winners were

announced and didn’t get pictures of them with their cars;

but here are their names and a couple random pictures and

a note from your chairperson, Lion Sheri.

I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned this before; but, ladies re-

member EAT BERRIES !!!! Researches say that older women

who consume at least a cup of strawberries or one-half cup

blueberries per week delay cognitive aging by up to two and a

half years. (probably for men too) The key ingredient is fla-

vonoids; antioxidants also found in tea, red wine, apples, and

oranges. MR. FRUGAL’S MONTHLY TIP

PRESCRIPTIONS can be filled at

low-price warehouse clubs like

Sam’s Club and Costco without

spending the money for a member-

ship. They fill prescriptions for

anyone.

GARDENING

Fall is almost here and that means fall planting season is here.

Fall is the best time for planting, especially for trees. They

don’t have the stress of the heat and the roots can take off

without having to nourish their leaves. Fall fertilizing should

have been done in Sept; but, not too late to do it NOW. If fall

color is showing then the plant or tree is beginning to go dormant

and will not use all the fertilizer you give it. Mix a pre-emergent

with your weed killer to stop seeds from sprouting; but, remem-

ber NOT to use in areas where you want to plant seeds. It’s also

time to plant winter annuals and veggies. Just because we’ve had

a couple rains don’t stop watering, you can reduce water with

cooler temperatures but don’t stop until we get a good reliable

rainfall. Remember to cut a drain in any basin around your trees,

you don’t want them to stand in water all winter. Info thanks to

Jeff @ Bald Mountain Nursery, visit them if you need plants,

fertilizers, accessories, or just information.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !!!!!!!

This year October has 5 Mondays,

5 Tuesdays, and 5 Wednesdays.

This happens only once every 823

years. WOW This is called Money

Bags, and if you believe in this you

will receive MONEY within a few

days. RIGHT !! This is based on

Chinese Feng Shui. My pockets are

still empty.

MONTHLY TREASURER REPORT

SEPTEMBER:

Variable Expenditures:

Alarm System—$375.00

Donations—$550.00

Unrestricted Income:

Bar Profit—$2,547.00

Car Show Profit—$4,364.54 (before bar)

Membership Dues—$265.00

Administrative Acct Balance—$941.54

Community Acct Balance—$7,135.53

PROTECT YOURSELF—WASP SPRAY

If you don’t have a gun, you can still wreck

someone’s day. This is recommended by some lo-

cal police departments and self-defense instruc-

tors, instead of using pepper spray. The wasp

spray can shoot up to twenty feet and is a lot

more accurate, easy to find, and inexpensive. The

wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker and

they will need to go to a hospital for an antidote.

If you have any need to be in a high-risk area, or

just for comfort, keep a can in your car, near your

door and/or bed.

Also, did you know that wasp spray can kill a snake

and a mouse.

Oh yeah, you can use it to kill wasps too.

Words from your President:

Hi Fellow Lions: (Get your glasses)

Is it really fall or autumn? I cannot be-

lieve September has passed. The

planned dance fundraiser for lo-

cal Needy Families on 9/8 was can-

celled; however, as we Lions so often do

a donation of $250 was given and we

will retry the dance this spring.

Oh my if you missed the birthday dinner this month too

bad! Lion Linda and her fellow Lion helpers created "chicken

fried steak" meal like no other...made your taste buds melt

with every bite.

We had great surprise baking items to auction at our gen-

eral meetings this month...Lion Susie's famous "hot out of the

oven" blackberry cobblers--I just happened to win one and can

testify it was scrumptious! And Lion John's son-in-law pre-

pared a beautiful cheese cake with caramel filling.

And those Monday Taco nights prepared by Lion Sheri and

Lion Debbie and their Lion helpers are to be commended! Ta-

cos could not be made fast enough to meet the demand! Keep

up the fabulous work on these fundraisers--so much fun too!

There is no where to begin to "thank" all the Lions sur-

rounding Lions Sheri and Kenn on the 11th annual Warm Sep-

tember Nights Car Show. The cars, the food, the drinks,

crafters, vendors, rockin and rollin Road Test band, raffle ta-

ble, gorgeous weather and especially the community turn out--

wow!! We Lions could not have asked for a better day!

Lions Colleen and Kitt will report next month on our commu-

nity "yard sale" on Saturday 9/29. I hope if you didn't have a

booth selling wares you were able to drop by cause someone

may have had that special treasure you have always wanted and

could not live without!! Lion John also Region Chair will have a

report in next month's bulletin on the District cabinet meeting

in Sutter on 9/29. As mentioned this is a good opportunity to

attend a local cabinet meeting for those working on their

proud Lion and proud Sponsor awards.

And now October--here we go!!! Remember first our Dis-

trict Governor Coy Moody will be making his official visitation

at our first general meeting. Let's all come and show our Gov-

ernor how much fun we have as Foothill Lions!! There will be a

surprise baking item to auction. And especially do not forget

our Chili Cook Off on Oct 13th...get registered and get out

your chili recipes and compete; AND, decorate that booth.

FROM THE EDITOR:

You all know that Lion Jeff and I

attend the Reno Air Races every year

and the horrific accident that hap-

pened last year. Well, this year was a

“great” time for racers and attendees

alike. The Reno Air Race Association held a very moving

memorial for last year’s victims and their families (some

of which were in attendance).

And, I was so touched by the opening ceremonies with

this “jumper”; he is a double amputee veteran, he jumps

from an airplane with this huge American Flag attached

to him and floats over the venue landing perfectly in

front of the stands

while the Reno Na-

tional Guard Choir is

singing the National

Anthem, and F15,s

are flying overhead.

Whew —— Brought

a lump to my throat.

ADOPT-A-HWY

crew will be out on

Tuesday, Oct 9th, @ 9 am, picking up other people’s

trash. Way to go team, trying to keep our little strip of

highway clean.

Send all letters, questions, or thoughts to strun-

[email protected], PO Box 8147, Marysville,

or call 742-3041

Cut-Off for Bulletin publications is by the 25th of

the Month

LION SUSIE TRUNDY, Editor

Oh my gosh, it’s San-

ta’s helper AGAIN, had

to pay for the black-

berry crisp huh? Lion

Darrell won the 50-50

again for $40.00, way

to go.

The “bake auctions” have turned out

to be a “great” money maker for the

Lions Eye Foundation. First meeting

in September brought in $75.00 for

(3) blackberry crisp made by Lion

Susie. Thank you Lions Darrell, John D, and Roberta

for your generous contributions. Lion John N. brought

a caramel cheesecake; which was bought by an undis-

closed donor for $52.00, yahoo. Can you recognize the

hand? Thank you Lions, you are very generous.

MEET YOUR NEWEST MEMBER Debbie Sutton was inducted into our Lion

Family on Sept 6th, by our Past Governor

Lion Paul. Lion Debbie has lived in the

Browns Valley area for 20 years and has al-

ready been a community volunteer and knows

the importance of our assistance in the

neighborhood. She has 2 daughters and was

a Girl Scout leader in our community for

many years and a volunteer for the Red

Cross. Plus, when her daughter was diag-

nosed with cancer our Lions Club was there

to help out with

expenses and

fundraisers. She

said we’ve done so

much for her

family she wants

to give back to us.

Please welcome

Lion Debbie.

Now this is NOT a new

face to winning either.

Congrats to Lion Jer-

ry for winning the 50-

50 for $38.00 at our

2nd Sept meeting.

GOVERNOR’S VISIT—Please join us

@ the Oct 4th meeting to meet Gover-
