LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
In reply to an article in last
weeks Brussels Post signed
TJC, P. I would like to refute
several of the statements made
regarding the Brussels Lions
Club.
Regarding the Amateur Con
test, it was not held as a money
making project, and it certainly
did not turn out to be such with
the net proceeds only $28.99, as
shown in a financial statement
on Page one of the same issue
of the Post, The competitors paid
the same admission as everyone
else which took the place of an
entry fee. The Lions support their
own community whenever pos-
sible, and you will see in the
same ftnancial statement that the
plaques given as prizes were
purchaeed from our local jewelley
store. We have never had a more
worthwhile project, as the Lions
Club .members had many favour-
able conements from local parents
of the valuable experience gained
by their children by competing
in the amateur night.
The article implied, that the
20th Anniversary banquet was
financed from club funds which
Was a false accusation, as' the
tickets cost, $5.00 a couple, This
evening was a real milestone in
the history of the Brussels Lions
Club, and instead of trying to rid
the town of some of its best
citizens as you suggest, I think
they should be praised for the'
time and money they have put
into the many worthwhile Lions
projects in this community for
:the past 20 years.
In future would suggest
best interests of the community
at heart.
