Message from President Don
“Visions Of A Better Community, A Better World”
Members, Family and Friends
The holiday season is behind us, and my how fast time flies! I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Christmas
and New Year's. Our club remained quite busy in December with the Christmas House tour held jointly with the
Historical Society, as well as our annual Christmas tree sales, Remembrance Tree, and finally the tour and dinner at
Doug and my house. Each of these fundraisers was a success, and I’m amazed at how fast our Christmas trees sold
this year. We were sold out well over a week before Christmas! I would like to thank everyone who helped make
these events so successful. A special thanks to Lions Mike, Curtis, and Bob Meunier for organizing the tree sales,
including setup and tear down of the tree lot. We will be providing goodwill meals to Ace Hardware and Keilholtz
Trucking for their help with the Christmas trees this year.
As we turn our sights on the new year, we will have our official visit from District Governor Kent on the January 8
regular meeting, so please plan to attend if you are able. Also, we will be holding a benefit breakfast for Jeremy
Hahn on Saturday, January 11. This will be held jointly with Trinity United Church of Christ in Thurmont. Please
come out and enjoy a nice breakfast and support our neighbor who is going through some difficult times. We will
be having our Longaberger basket and Vera Bradley bingo on Friday, January 31. This is always a popular event and
typically is a nice fundraiser for our club.
Looking further into the future (next summer, in fact), we will be reducing our summer sandwich sales from six to
four events (April 26, May 24th Memorial Day weekend, July 5th which is July 4th weekend and August 30th Labor Day
weekend). Many folks have suggested that the fundraisers and activities that our club is doing have become too
numerous. One of the main suggestions is that we reduce the number of pit sandwich sales. Also, the Fall Foods
Festival will be discontinued. Since magnets have already been distributed with all the dates for 2014, please help
spread the word that we will only be holding four events next summer.
As always, if you have any questions or comments regarding the club, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

TODAY’S LEOs = TOMORROW’S LEADERS
Thurmont Middle School (TMS) LEO Club
During the month of December, the TMS Leos participated in various activities and events that aided the
community during the holiday season.
The Thurmont Middle School held their new member Induction Ceremony on December 4, 2013. TLC TMS advisors
Lion Gayle DiSalvo and Joyce Anthony performed the inductions with the assistance of the TMS President Alex.
There were 12 new members (we’re at 24 members) who repeated the obligation of membership and are now
members of the TMS Leo Club. The new members were presented their LEO packets and membership cards. A
new member pizza party celebration was enjoyed by all the Leo members. WHAT AN HONOR –
CONGRATULATIONS!
Thurmont welcomed Christmas in Thurmont on December 7th. TMS Leos assisted at the registration table and
issued maps for the local business visits.
The Leos ended their final food drive for the year by
collecting food throughout the sixth grade. Approximately
150 items were donated to the Thurmont Food Bank.
2
Jeremy Hahn Fundraiser - The
Leos took on the challenge of
doing a fundraiser to benefit
Jeremy Hahn for use on
outstanding expenses and to
help the family during the
holidays. Jeremy is battling
throat cancer, has four children
and is unable to work. Jeremy is
the owner of the Intowne
Barber Shop. The Leos have
been very active during the past
month selling candy bars at the
entrance of the school during
parent conferences, at the
Thurmont Lions Club,
throughout the community,
among their friends, neighbors
and family. With the support
of everyone, their fundraiser
was a huge success. Leo Secretary Avie Hopcraft presented a check to Mrs. Angie Hahn in the amount of $1,013.
You, the TMS Leos, should feel very proud for what you have accomplished in giving back to someone in the
community. Gayle and I are honored to be your TLC advisors this year. CONGRATULATIONS FOR A HUGE
SUCCESS!
Note: The Leos will be distributing flyers to support the benefit breakfast being sponsored by the Thurmont Lions
Club and Trinity United Church of Christ being held on January 11, 2014.
The TMS Leos will be kicking off a pennies campaign on “Leukemia and Lymphoma Society‘s Pennies for Patients”
program. We will have a guest speaker for the January 8th Leo meeting to present the program to the Leos – more
information to follow next month.
Thurmont Middle School Leos continue to be very active with fundraisers to help their community, thus giving
them opportunities to develop positive character traits and learning the importance of cooperation through these
many community services.
We are investigating the new LEO International website ‘e-LeoClubHouse’ for use by the TMS Leos. The CHS Leos
have made major strides using the site. (Submitted by Lion Joyce)
Remember – “Just one new LEO member can make a huge difference!

Catoctin High School (CHS) LEO Club
Happy New Year, CHS Leo’s and Advisors!
The CHS Leos were active during the month of December:

On December 17th and 20th visited a nursing home providing caroling and dance performance
Baked holiday cookies for the CHS custodial staff
Helped with setup and decorating for the December 21st Winter Wonderland Dance
Raised $400 selling Uncle Ralph’s cookie dough
Check out our website, Facebook and Twitter (NOTE: An account is not needed with these sites to see what we’re
up to. Enjoy!)
Christmas Tree Sales – Once again, our Christmas tree sales were a big success. The Thurmont Lions
Club Christmas tree sale began on Friday, November 29, 2013 in the parking lot of the Ace Hardware store on
North Church Street. Many thanks to all of you who helped with the Christmas tree sale this year. We had an early
sell out due to the snow days that folks wanted them early to decorate while they were snowed in. Our Christmas
tree sales continue to be a successful fundraiser due to the planning, participation by many members and the
support and cooperation of Ace Hardware and Keilholtz Trucking. (Submitted by Lion Mike)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2013 Thurmont Christmas House Tour – The 2013 Christmas House
tour was a great success. It is hard to believe the tour has come and gone for another
year. We sold 213 tickets with the profits being split between the Historical Society and
the Lion Club. The weather did not stop folks from coming out on Saturday, and Sunday
was a good day. Many thanks to all of you who volunteered to guide visitors, punch
tickets, and assisting in the preparations leading up to the spectacular event. A special
“thank you” to Lion Theresa for the amazing job she did with the PR. (Submitted by Lion Sharon)

Longaberger Basket/Vera Bradley Bingo - January 31st at the Guardian Hose Company’s Activity
Building on the carnival grounds. We need everyone to get the word out and
generate some interest in the tickets. Lion Jo Ann Cannada has tickets – they are
$20.00 each. Please have folks call her at 301-271-2924. Baskets will be filled,
there will be a cash King Tut and a 50/50 so there are lots of chances to win.
Shirley Long is manning the kitchen so you know the food will be good. Doors
open at 5:00 pm – come one, come all. Lion Theresa has a great ad coming in the
next edition of the Banner, and we have posters to go out if you know somewhere to put one,
please let us know – we’ll get the sheet to you. Also see the attachment to this newsletter. Your
help in making this another successful Lion’s event is appreciated. (Submitted by Lion Susan)
Literacy Event at the Thurmont Regional Library – The Literacy Committee is working with
the Thurmont Regional Library to host a literacy event at the library – scheduled for the afternoon on Saturday,
February 15th from 2:00-4:00 pm. Start telling your friends and neighbors to bring their children and grandchildren.
There will be fun, games, stories, crafts and more for the kids. Lots to do and fun for all! (Submitted by Lion Susan)
Remembrance Tree – A special “thank you” to Stauffer Funeral Home and Thurmont PNC Bank for
partnering with the Thurmont Lions Club to present the 4th annual Community Remembrance Tree. Also, a ‘thank
you’ to the Remembrance Tree committee and those who helped to decorate the tree. The tree is truly a
remembrance tree of life and love.
Ornaments can be picked up on Wednesday, January 8, 2014, from 5:00-6:00 pm at the Cozy Restaurant.
Ornaments not claimed will become the property of Thurmont Lions Club. (Submitted by Lion Joyce)

Thurmont Lions Club’s Annual Christmas Party – This year’s celebration took place at the
Carriage House in Emmitsburg, which served a delicious buffet and was beautifully decorated for the season.
Although the attendance was smaller than usual, everyone who attended had a great time. Adults played two fun
games; pass the present and decipher (guess) the Christmas carol. The children who attended had an opportunity
to make a fun craft. Of course, the main man of the season, Santa, made a jolly appearance. (Submitted by Lion Deb)
Christmas Extravaganza Benefit for LVRF - The Christmas extravaganza was a special evening
for all who attended. This was the fifth year that Don and Doug opened their home for an extravaganza event at
6
which guests could enjoy the many trees and decorations that they put up. Many lions also worked together to
provide a bountiful buffet for most of those who attended. This year the event featured more than 10 new trees
including: two Lollipop Trees, a Teddy Bear Tree, a Snowing Tree, a Waterfall Tree, an Antler Tree, a Farm Tree, a
“Despicable Me” Tree, a Money Tree, an Apple Tree and a Peacock Tree. Outside the familiar lights were
accompanied by a spectacular tree lined driveway with lights in each tree and an additional 12 foot tall inflatable
color changing tree. This was the last year for the event which drew more than 60 people including volunteers and
helpers. Funds from the event will be donated to LVRF. More than $1,100 was raised from this private event
attended exclusively by lions and invited guests. Jeremy Hahn, a local cancer survivor, for whom a fundraiser is
planned, made a brief, but very inspiring appearance, with his children all of whom enjoyed the sights and sounds
of the holiday.
Many of the decorations are already coming down; but, if you’d like to see the house (and make a contribution to
support LVRF), contact Lions Don or Doug as soon as possible to schedule a time before it’s too late. Thanks to
everyone who helped with the event and contributed to its success. (Submitted by Lion Doug)
Benefit Breakfast for Jeremy Hahn - An all you can eat breakfast for Jeremy Hahn is being held at
Trinity United Church of Christ, 101 East Main Street, Thurmont, MD on Saturday, January 11, 2014 from 6 AM –
11:00 AM. Breakfast includes pancakes, sausage, pudding, hominy, eggs, chipped beef gravy, juice, fruit and
coffee. This breakfast is sponsored by the Thurmont Lions Club and the Trinity United Church of Christ. Please see
Lions Nancy and Joann for advanced ticket sales, or purchase tickets at Brown’s Jewelry Store or purchase on the
day of the event at the church. As many of you are aware, Jeremy is a local barber at the InTowne Barber Shop and
was diagnosed with cancer of the tongue. He has undergone surgery and has taken many extensive radiation
treatments over the last several weeks. Proceeds from this event will go to the Jeremy Hahn Fund for use on
outstanding expenses managed by the Thurmont Lions Club. (Submitted by Lion Joann Miller)
Please refer to the Benefit Work Schedule attached to this newsletter for the sign up listings and times. If you
are unable to fulfill your time slot, please inform Lions Nancy or Joann.
Update on the MaDD 2013 Project – What’s Next???????? - On October 26, 2013, the Thurmont
Lions Club along with local artist Yemi partnered in the “Beautify Our Town” project by installing a beautiful mural
entitled “Thurmont - Rail History” on the trolley substation along Main Street. In an effort to continue this project,
by adding additional historic scenes of Thurmont to the substation, the Thurmont Lions Club auctioned off an artist
print and has been selling commemorative items – wine glasses and ornaments that have been etched with the
mural scene. All of these funds, along with any further donations, will be used for future murals to make the
trolley substation a history lesson for the community as well as visitors that come into Thurmont. To date, the
Lions Club has sold approximately 190 commemorative items. If you missed purchasing your item or if you need
more items, please see Lions Nancy or Joann, or you can purchase them at the following Thurmont businesses –
Cozy Inn & Restaurant, Gateway Candy Land and Brown’s Jewelry. (Submitted by Lions Joann & Nancy)

Mark your calendars – March 12 – Gather up all those unwanted Christmas presents, and those items around the
house that are someone else’s treasure. Be ready to share them on March 12 th for our Annual Barter Night – this is
a spouses night and ALWAYS a fun night. Barter Night is our annual fundraiser for the club – the procedures help

Business Expo for 2014 - The TLC Board voted to not participate in the Business Expo this spring. We’ve
not received much in the way of potential new members or interest from this event.
(Submitted by President Don)
Food Bank Project – Remember DG Kent’s project is “Feed the Hungry”. This project
will continue throughout the year. Please bring an item to each meeting to support the Food
Bank project. The club’s Food Bank Committee consists of Lions Tim Stuart, Charlie Frey and
Fred Mullins. If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Committee.
REMEMBER, AN ITEM PER MEMBER FOR EACH MEETING!

Note of “Thanks” to my Extended Family
Just when I think my life is as blessed as it can be, along comes a surprise. However, my
life has been so blessed with the gift of family and friends.
There are no words to express my gratitude for everyone’s concern. Thank you for the
telephone calls, food, cards, visits, flowers, laughter, gifts and prayers. More
importantly, that you for your wishes, love, blessings, encouragement, kindness,
friendship and inspiration. These words fall short in expressing the feelings you have given me, but they carry the
sound from the strings of my heart. May you be blessed with the kindness you have shown me. Today is the
tomorrow you worried about yesterday. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but with your support, love,
prayers and the Lord holding my hand, I will get through this period of uncertainty with positive results. Thank you
and God Bless! (Submitted by Lion Larry)
