Delavan Lions Club

You don’t have to be Irish to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

The Delavan Lion’s Club will once again be serving corned beef and cabbage with all the fixins at its 54th annual St. Patrick’s celebration from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday, March 12, at the Village Supper Club, 1725 South Shore Dr. on Delavan Lake.

Cost for adults is $12 at the door, or $11 in advance available from any Delavan Lions Club member, or at Stinebrink’s Piggly Wiggly, Bradley’s Department Store or at the Village Supper Club. Cost is $6 for children 6 to 12 while those 5 and under eat for free.

Ticket charges include coffee or milk and all of the trimmings — succulent corned beef, sweetly steamed cabbage, baked chicken, Irish potatoes, carrots, horseradish, fresh rye bread and butter. Also, there will be an hourly 50/50 raffle for cash prizes.

Proceeds from this and other Delavan Lions fundraising events go to various charities and other good causes within the Delavan community, and to the Wisconsin Lions Camp in Rosholt, Wis. The camp offers a quality camping experience for eligible children and adults who are blind or visually impaired, those who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, and those with diabetes or educational autism, etc.

A chance remark – “Blind kids can’t go to outdoor camps and stuff like that…” – started it all in 1955. The following year, Lions Clubs in the State of Wisconsin founded the Wisconsin Lions Camp and the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc. to administer the Camp program.

From that humble beginning when it served 26 campers, your Wisconsin Lions Camp now serves more than 1,300 campers each summer.

New Member Meeting is Oct. 5

Food, fun and frolic are on tap for the Delavan Lions Club’s New and Prospective Member Social. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 5, at the new Brick Street Market, 114 E. Walworth St. in Delavan.

If you enjoyed a delicious cob of sweet corn at this year’s Walworth County Fair, have had the mouth-watering corned beef and cabbage served up at the Village Restaurant each March, or had breakfast with the Easter Bunny in April, you’ve met some of your Delavan Lions. They’ve been hosting these and other fun events, and have been contributing to a variety of great causes in our area for more than 77 years.

All of the money collected at these events goes to charitable causes.

Prospective members who would like to learn more about the club and hear more about these events, as well as other fascinating information about Lionism, should register for the October 5 meeting by calling Lions Club President Deb Cross at (262) 728-4224 or you may email her a tdebra.cross@edwardjones.com.

The Delavan Lions and Lionesses are once again hosting the corn tent at the Walworth County Fair, Sept. 2-7 in Elkhorn. Come on down and get some locally fresh-picked, buttery sweetcorn for just $3 per ear. Ice-cold water, soda and Gatorade available, too! Look for the green and white tent located on the corner of the main food aisle near the fair’s main entrance off Highway 11. The delicious smell of fresh roasted sweetcorn will get you there, too!
