SCAM ALERT!!
Lions beware! Many of us are starting to receive a “Domain Name Expiration Notice” from Domain Name Services. In fact, I belong to another non-profit organization and we just received the very same thing.
It looks totally official including a return envelope for checks. I have confirmed that this is indeed a scam so PLEASE THROW IT AWAY!!
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

A total of 21 adults, 8 children and 5 dogs participated in the mile-and-a-half walk around the town of Cascade. Along the route, walkers stopped at stations providing educational materials and tips on recognizing the signs of diabetes and the importance of early detection.
Organizers emphasized that education is key to identifying and managing diabetes. When all was said and done the Cascade Lions Club raised $1,300 that will go toward helping kids attend the Montana Youth Diabetes Summer Camp where they can learn more about living with the condition in a supportive environment.

Centennial Park in Helena Montana was the scene of the celebration of the American flag and its history. There was a large excited crowed watching as the flag was delivered by a DNRC helicopter. A Scout troop carried the flag from the helicopter to the flagpole and helped slowly to raise the flag as the history of the flag was told.

We give out all kinds of awards to dedicated Lions within our organization. Some are fun awards like the Repeat Offenders award or Rookie of the Year award. However, sometimes members just go above and beyond the “We Serve” credo to really serve their community. In that case we have the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award.
The Melvin Jones Fellowship (MJF) is the backbone of our foundation. Presented to those who donate US$1,000 to LCIF or to people for whom a donation was made by others, it’s a tremendous contribution to humanity and to the legacy of our founder, Melvin Jones.
This year we were proud to present the award to to a husband and wife team of Lions Cheryl and Gary Lewis for all the time and effort the they donate not only to the club but to the town of Seeley Lake. We are lucky to have them and we lean on them for their past experiences to help guide us along the way. Both have served as President over 8 times over the years and several committee chairs. Currently Lion Gary is our 2nd Lieutenant Governor while Lion Cheryl is assisting in the duties of our Treasurer.
We thank them sincerely for all they do for us!
Choteau Lions Club Launches $10-Grand Pool Payout Raffle to Support Community Swimming Pool
The Choteau Lions Club is excited to announce the launch of its brand-new fundraiser: the $10-Grand Pool Payout Raffle. This dynamic new raffle replaces the club’s long-running “Trip of the Month” raffle, which successfully supported the club’s projects for over three decades.
The Pool Payout Raffle aims to help sustain and improve the Choteau Lions Swimming Pool while continuing to fund vital community Lions Club projects like park improvements and youth programs.
Here’s how it works:
-
-
Tickets are $100 each or 2 for $150
-
A grand prize drawing for $10,000 will be held on August 14, 2025
-
Two early bird drawings will add excitement and more chances to win:
-
- July 4th: a BBQ grill plus 50 lbs. of Montana beef
- July 31st: a CZ Redhead 20-gauge shotgun
Local pools are more than recreation: they are community anchors, providing safe, healthy summer fun for kids and families. The Choteau pool is no exception. With the cost of maintaining and operating community pools rising each year, support from programs like this raffle makes a tremendous difference.
Purchasing tickets is easy! Tickets are available online at https://choteaulions.club/10k-raffle.
We encourage all Montana Lions to help spread the word, support your fellow Lions, and ensure the Choteau Lions Swim Pool continues to be a shining example of service in action.
