Frank Krol
Hello Lions,
The November 11th
Northside Lions meeting was a great success
due a lot of Northside Lions support and
EXTRA EFFORT from
Lion ED WEESSIES! Lion Ed was the lion of the hour for
organizing and implementing for all the Lions Clubs (9 in total)
plus served as chauffeur, social director, room set-up, and a well
prepared agenda >> THANK YOU LION ED!
speeches, would have been good to hear what each was
going to say but this is indeed Michigan and you can never
count on the weather cooperating. It was a red letter day for
our club, not only hearing the comments made in our regard,
but also having PIP Sid Scruggs and Judy with us for this
event and also at our meeting that night. It was also good to
have the other clubs in attendance as well.
The work on the Causeway is now in the hands of the
professionals but come spring time we can surely create
some other projects within the park to keep us busy. We still
have some work to do on our calendar project; the earlier
start has given us a real boost. We still have about 390
calendars in the hands of our members, please make every
effort to sell your 10, this will lessen the task of selling by the
members who go way beyond their original 10.
We have a couple of great traditional events coming up in
December you really don’t want to miss:
>> Dec. 2nd Northside Lions Christmas Party
My knee is on the mend, did not anticipate this much
A special program that is going to be fun for all in participating in recovery time but then again, it is my first replacement
a MYSTERY DINNER!! (see Lion Jan & Pat for details)
surgery (and hopefully my last!) Thanks once again for all
your concerns on my behalf.
>> Dec. 7th Kids Christmas Shopping Day
This has always been a great experience to help young people
Until next month, PID Dennis
in our community. We take these young people shopping for gifts
for family members with a cash contribution from Northside
Lions. We all return to our meeting hall and help them gift wrap
An Editorial by:
all their selections followed by a Pizza Party (see Lion Deb &
Barb for details)
Lion Ed Weessies, PCST
2015 USA/Canada Lions Forum will be held in Grand
Rapids, MI on Sept. 15-19th. This will be bringing in hundreds
and hundreds of Lions to our nearby partners. Committees are
being formed now and they have asked for our help --- our ‘front
man’ is Lion JIM WOLFFIS. Lion Jim has a complete list of
needs by days of Tuesday thru Saturday. As more details arrive,
Lion Jim will be asking you to help serve these requests.
Let’s continue our proud motto >> We Serve
Lion Frank Krol
Lions Tale Editor
Fellow Lions,
Please keep in mind those Lions and
their family members who are in ill
health, recovering from surgeries or have
lost loved ones. Also keep in your thoughts
those members, for whatever reasons, have not been in
attendance or working on projects. They need our support as
much as we need them.
November was an exciting month for Northside Lions,
especially having the honor to host the visit of Past
International President Sid Scruggs and his wife Lion Judy.
What classy Lions and great representatives of Lions
Hello Lions:
worldwide. Thanks to Past International Director Dennis
Cobler for making the arraignments for the visits of Past
Well the day finally arrived where the public International Presidents Jimmy Ross and Sid Scruggs to be
learned what the Northside Lions have known special guests at our club meetings. What an honor.
for months, we have a very large amount of
We Northside Lions have so much to be proud of. The work
money coming into the Veterans Park. The November 11th
members have been doing to improve conditions on the
event at the Causeway drew a very decent crowd considering
Veterans’ Memorial Causeway in both leadership roles and
the lousy weather and after the veteran’s portion was over all of physically working there. With that leadership the
the partners in this terrific venture got to speak to their
“Causeway” will once again be Michigan’s most beautiful
involvement. The heavy rain curtailed the length of the
mile.

The sale of our raffle calendar is an important one. The
funds raised do much for those in need in the name of Lions.
Please do your part in selling calendars. They make great
gifts too. PLEASE have your calendars sold, sales cards and
money turned into Lion Dennis Cobler by December 15 so
that we will be ready for the 2015 drawings.
My message would not be complete without the mention of
membership. Our strength is in our numbers. For various
reasons our members cannot always take part in all of our
projects thus the need for a larger group to get things done.
We do not have that much to do at this time of the year but
we do need active Lions. PIP Scruggs installed three new
members those being Lions Tom DeVries, Connie Lewis and
Cynthia Williams. What an honor for them. At our second
meeting this month we hope to install Myra Dutton. There still
are several new vests to be filled though.
We do have several members who have left or will be leaving
for warmer climates. I hope to be escaping in January for a
couple of months but will be reporting from Florida. I hope to
visit some Lions clubs I have yet to see.
For those who remain behind, be safe!

Smells of Christmas
Written by Bernard Howe
I love the smell of Christmas,
along with all the lights.
Log fires in the fire place,
on those cold winter nights.
The red berries of the holly,
in that arrangement on the table.
Which I'm sure is much better,
then Christmas in that stable.
The smell of Christmas goodies,
that are baked with tender care.
The smell is just the greatest,
there's nothing to compare.
Poinsettia's all around,
to balance off the garland.
Music boxes everyplace,
bought by my sweet darlin'.
The evergreen's so fragrant,
the smell of Christmas season.
Like the hanging of mistletoe,
thats done for a good reason.
Cinnamon and Peppermint,
fills the air thats in our house.
And what is stirring in the night,
is not the Christmas mouse.

just sitting there on that shelf.

New Years Eve
'Christmas Bells' poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Till, ringing, singing on its way
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The Carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!
Page 6 of 8
Copyright © 2014 Muskegon Northside Lions Club
And in despair I bowed my head;
‘There is no peace on earth,’ I said;
‘For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!’
Then pealed the bells more loud and
deep:
‘God is not dead; nor doth he sleep!
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to
men!’
