The Gonvick Lions Club met at Sportsman’s Lodge on Wednesday, April 15. They are getting ready for the 35th annual rodeo that they have sponsored. Trey is coming back as announcer again this year and there will be a clown. They are looking at different ideas during the event. Letters will be sent out to sponsors this coming week.
Ditch cleaning will be done this year with the baseball team from the Clearbrook-Gonvick School. They are raising money to attend a baseball game of the St. Paul Saints. Leah Watne is the activities director at the school and that group was willing to do the job.
Two Lions members went to Grand Forks to pick up another aluminum handicapped ramp that the Lions Club takes out for area people to use.
