Lions of Bridgewater

Lion Theresa Tibert, Auction Chairperson writes:

The Bridgewater Academy Lions Club 15th Annual Cable Auction will be held on Sunday, November 11, 2007. We’ll be on air from 5pm until approximately 10:30pm. All of the proceeds will benefit the Massachusetts Lions Eye Research Fund (MLERF). Please watch the auction on BTV-9 and bid on items from the comfort of your own home. Maybe you could do some holiday shopping? Maybe you’ll splurge on something great for yourself? Whatever you choose to bid on, please remember to bid high and bid early so you don’t lose out on an item that you have to have! The phone number to place a bid is (508) 279-6367.
Items can be picked up at the rear door of the BTV-9 Studios, 80 Spring Street, immediately after the auction - from 10:30pm to 11pm. We’ll also have pick up times on Monday, November 12 (6pm-9pm), Tuesday, November 13 (9am-noon and 3pm-6pm), and Friday, November 16 (8am-noon).
Thanks very much for participating and helping us to raise funds for this worthwhile cause!!

Sounds like it will be a lot of fun. Don’t miss out!

Yikes! I had planned on doing a few more updates than I have up till now. There has been lots of activity going on behind the scenes here at bridgewaterlions.org:

• There is now a contact form for people who are interested in getting more information about Lions.
• I finally got the caching software installed, so pages should be displaying MUCH faster now.
• I’ve decided to re-enable comments. I have all the anti-spam protection in place so it should be OK. I’ll be keeping an eye on it.
• Information has been posted about all of the clubs here in Bridgewater.

So now that all that administrivia is out of the way, I can get back to posting useful info about the Lions clubs of Bridgewater. More updates to follow soon!

I’m officially biting the bullet today and taking the new site live.  There may still be a few tweaks as time goes by, but there’s no reason not to go live, so… here it is!

Congratulations to the Bridgewater Academy Lions Club, the Bridgewater Lions Club, and the Greater Bridgewater Leos Club for picking up honors at the annual awards dinner for District 33S.

Work has been continuing in the background for the past couple of weeks. I now have the photo gallery working, so I’ll be able to turn over control of photo uploads to each individual club. I think I have all of the plug-ins I need.  Just a few more last minute items to take care of before I officially make this site live and take down the old one…
