Plan now to come out and help build beds for some kids! We need everyone that can make it out.
You don’t need to have any carpentry skills nor do you need to bring any tools.
Come out, bring someone with you, and enjoy some fellowship in our community.
IT IS OFFICIAL…DISTRICT 2-X1 LIONS WILL “BUILD BEDS FOR KIDS” ON “BUILD DAY” FEBRUARY 18, 2023, AT ELLIS COUNTY YOUTH EXPO CENTER, 2300 WEST HIGHWAY 287 (West of I-35 South ½ mile on Hwy. 287), WAXAHACHIE, TX 75167.
Our District 2-X1 Lion Volunteers and non-Lion guests will build 175 beds with our partner Sleep in Heavenly Peace for Texas Lions Camp. This is the first installment of 300-350 beds we will do together. This is critical timing for Texas Lions Camp to allow us to get the beds to Kerrville before the first Workday on March 4 to begin assembly and placement in the two new bunkhouses in time for summer Camp.
We will need 150-200 volunteers to do the “Build.” The more volunteers we have the quicker we can complete the “Build.”
Time of the event will begin at 9 am and be finished with the “Build” and clean-up by 5 pm.
Drinks and food will be available “Build Day.” Plenty of free parking.
Finally, if any Club with an outstanding pledge has not paid, we need your money at or before the Mid-Winter Conference. If you have not donated and wish to do so for one or more beds at $250 each (includes the bed, supplies and lumber, mattress, pillow, and sheets), please do so now. Send your donations to Waxahachie Lions Foundation, P. O. Box 581, Waxahachie, TX, 75168-0581
PC John Landrum and PCC John Eads (Dos Amigos) sincerely thank everyone for participating in this District 2-X1 project monetarily and as a volunteer. We also appreciate the assistance of Lions Clubs International Foundation for their grant participation and our partner in the “Build,” Sleep in Heavenly Peace.
