Lions Dodgeball Spectacle
April 10

Elkhart Lions is putting together what it hopes will be one of its more successful community events and fund raisers. Lions Dodgeball Spectacle will be a one-coed tournament sanctioned by the National Amateur Dodgeball Association.

Up to 32 teams will compete for a cash prize plus registration in the NADA Summer Adult Nationals in Schaumburg, IL, next spring.

All proceeds go to support Lions important work for the blind and visually impaired.

There's all kinds of info at www.lionsdodgeball.com. There's also a podcast about the event. Listen to it below.

This text will be replaced by the flash music player.

This event will need quite a few volunteers, both Lions and non-lions. If you're interested, contact Dave Dufour at dave@lionsdodgeball.com.

It's going to be a blast, so get involved NOW!

Veteran's Flag Honors

Lion Arden Erickson

Shown at left is the U.S. Navy flag along with the U.S. Flag at the recently completed flagpole at the North Main St. bridge.

The Lions' flagpole bears the U.S. and U.S. Navy flags, in memory of Lion Arden Erickson. Arden passed away in Nov. after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was a member of our club for nearly ten years and most recently served as secretary.

The pedestal that will contain a photo of a deceased veteran along with a short bio has not been installed yet, but will eventually provide passersby information on the person whose member is honored. The appropriate flag for the branch of service the veteran belonged to will fly under the U.S. flag during this period.
