The Power of Partnership and Puppies
Green Capes Lions Club is pleased to announce the winner of the 2022 Lions calendar sales program. Congratulations and Thank You to District A12 for selling a total of 1,125 calendars. In recognition of this achievement, Green Capes donated $5,000 for the district to “Name a Litter”. The participating clubs in District A12 recently chose the names for the beautiful S litter: Stevey, Sunny, Sky, Storm, Scout, and Sheila. For LFC Chair Bob Murray, Stevey has a special meaning. Lion Les Stevens, a Dog Guide Patron, was instrumental in encouraging Bob to add Dog Guides to his many Lions activities.
Over 5,500 Green Capes calendars were sold through the Lions calendar sales program in 2022. To date, Lions clubs across Canada have sold a total of 18,828 calendars since 2019. The estimated proceeds for these clubs to support their local activities is over $180,000. As a specialty Lions club dedicated to Dog Guides, Green Capes donates all its proceeds to the school. This calendar fundraiser truly is a great partnership for Lions!
We will be following Stevey’s journey all year. He is being fostered by Serena, our Green Capes Club President – and we will be sharing his journey from baby puppy to service dog candidate.
