Quest/Omega Health Scan
Chairperson Lion Gerry Phillips thanks all those that helped make the health scan another successful event. There were 127 individuals that had scanning completed.

Easter Egg Hunt
Co Chairperson’s Lion Ray Wolf and Lion Phil Deibler want to thank all those who helped on collecting eggs Friday April 6th and helped with the Egg Hunt on Saturday April 7th. Although there was some loss of attendance due to our Christmas like weather we still had 740 children. The festivities were high with the Easter Bunny and our own East Cocalico Lion roaming the grounds with the children and adults alike. A special thanks goes to Wal-Mart for their help with supplying gifts at reduced rates. The club would like to thank Lion Phil and Lion Ray for their hard work and dedication on this event. Let us not forget to thank the Boy Scouts as well as the Community in their support of us as well as the event.

Appreciation Night
Appreciation night was held Saturday April 14th at the Rainbow Dinner Theatre. Thirty-eight lions and their spouses as well as those widows that have helped on our events of the year attended the comedy, “Good Bye Charlie”. A buffet of Barbeque Spare Ribs, Roast Beef, Chicken and Fish along with vegetables and desserts were had by all. We thank Lion Jim Moser for putting together the event. It was noted that all was fantastic with the exception of a missing pin by our own Sergeant at Arms Lion Glenn Eidemiller, its ok his own appointed assistant spotted the infraction and matters were taken care of.
