Magrath Lions Clubs Friendship Night 2001
Following the encouragement of International President Dr. Jean
Behar, we will be sponsoring a "Lions Clubs Friendship Night" in
Magrath, Alberta during the third week of April 2001 (we held our event on April
20, 2001 at the Magrath Seniors Center). This will be (was) an opportunity us to
share with the members of our community -- who Lions are, what Lions think and
what Lions do.

Highlights:
- Lion John Witherspoon and his wife Lion Gail, along with two of their
'prospective lion' guests from Lethbridge visited. Lion John presented
information on the STARS air ambulance service, which is supported to a large
degree by the Lions MD37, and on the related HPS Human Patient Simulator
project. Interestingly enough, one of our guests happened to be able to have
his 13 year old son describe first hand experience using STARS air ambulance
to get to Calgary Children's Hospital from Cardston after an accident with a
baling machine 5 years ago (Father: Clay Boyes of Magrath, AB). Come to think
of it, my own daughter was air lifted on the STARS airplane 2 years ago from
Cardston to Calgary as well -- luckily she recovered fully, but, humm.
- Guest Mike Cahoon entertained us with his amazing story/song voice
impressions and guitar plucking. Ask us about the 'pumkin kickin at the cow
pasture' story and the tune to 'a boa contrictor is chewing on my ___' ..
- Three information stations displaying: 1) Video 'Down the Street ..',
2) This website on CD, and 3) a looping 'powerpoint' presentation ..
- Want a copy? If you are consumed with curiosity, just email your request to
us at maglion@ssdirect.com and we
will consider getting a copy of above resources on CD to you. You will need a
fairly powerful PC to run the program (CD, Soundcard, Win9x). The self running
presentation program is 20+MB in size, but it all fits nicely on a burned CD.
We intend on recycling the resource materials prepared for this event by
using them again in July 2001 during the Town of Magrath celebrations.
