ADM Drum Line

At our last meeting we were visited by Jon Strunk and 2 members of the ADM Drum Line, Elaina and Caleb. They gave us information about the cymbals they use and their need for a larger cymbal rack so they could include more for their performances. At our Board meeting following the regular meeting we voted to donate $1,220 so they could purchase one. If you haven't experienced the ADM drum line, you really should. They are GREAT!

 

ADM Booster Clubs

ADM Activities Director (and Lions Club member) Rod Wiebers gave the club a summary of both athletic and fine arts activities over the past school year. He also shared what to look for in the upcoming year.

Following his presentation, Lions President Jim Westfall presented him with a $2,000 check for the ADM Athletics Boosters and a $1,000 check for the ADM Fine Arts Boosters.

Our Lions Club wishes all the best for the upcoming year, ADM students!

Giving Back Outdoors

Eagle Scout Project

Luke Yanacheak presented his Eagle Scout project to our club last Wednesday. He plans to rebuild the signs that show the various service clubs in Adel at the South, West, and North entrances to town. (The club signs are part of the large brick sign at the East entrance.) Pictured are Luke and the signs at the South entrance, north of the high school. They've served us well over the years but are showing their age.

15 years!!
