Lions Club variety show -- mostly music and laughs
By Mark Schadenberg
Everyone enjoys great music and hilarious skits.
A dedicated committee from the Lions Club Of Woodstock is busy with rehearsals as the local service club prepares its second annual variety show on Friday, May 31 and Saturday, June 1 -- at College Avenue Secondary School -– shows at 8 p.m.
Last year, I had the ideal role . . . Hide behind the stage until someone asked me to run out (behind closed curtains) and move some set equipment.
This year's show promises to be entertaining. Look at the poster for more details.

Attend the event for a fun night with friends, but also
to assist the Lions Club in raising money for Sakura House.
It can be added that some of the material in the skits is
intended for an adult audience, but just like last year the production will be
a fun mix of tunes and laughter, and sometimes funny songs.
The Lions Club Of Woodstock, which I have been a proud member
of for several years, continues to be both a work force and charity fundraising
group. Our activities include Highway 2 garbage pickup (May 11; called a pickup
as everything picked up ends up in the back of Bill Gillespie’s pickup) west of
the city limits, to volunteering as the cleanup crew for Relay For Life every year.
The Lions Club raises dollars through its variety show, weekly
Thursday night bingo at the Legion, operating the beer garden at Cow-a-polooza,
running the food tent at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show, and through many other
money-making efforts.
We donate to Sakura House, school-student bursaries, guide
dog programs, several Christmas campaigns, Big Brothers / Big Sisters, and most
certainly individual one-time-only requests from the community for everything
from school playground equipment to assisting someone requiring a healthcare
item they can not afford.
We also donate our time – volunteer to assist as a
workforce for various charitable fundraisers.
If you have some extra time on your hands, (Many hands
make light work) and would like to join our group, contact me anytime. By the
way, in Woodstock there is no Lionettes club as our service club has many
women, including the in-coming president and current treasurer.
Join the Lions Club, you will have a ‘roaring’ good time.
