The Quyon Lions Club have some long standing members who were recently recognized for their years of service by being presented with International Awards. Glen Leach was presented with an award for 30 years with the Quyon Lions Club, while Eric Provost and Roger Dubois were each recognized for 45 years with the Club. Congratulations and thank you to Glen, Eric and Roger for all they have done for our community. This year marks the 51st year of active community service for the Quyon Lions Club. We are so fortunate to have them and wish them continued success as a club.

Speaking of the Lions, they are keeping busy as usual with several events coming up. This coming Saturday, they will be hosting their annual Curling Bonspiel at the Shawville Curling Club. It is always a great day of curling and fun. They are also organizing the annual Family Pancake Supper on March 5 at the Quyon Legion. It is a delicious meal. I am already looking forward to it.

Belated birthday wishes are going out to Sara Richardson who celebrated on Jan. 24. We also have birthday wishes going out to Maureen McKenny on March 4. Happy days to everyone celebrating this week.

The Quyon Canada Day Committee is gearing up for this year’s festivities by holding an online Facebook auction. It opened this past Saturday and will run until March 16. Be sure to join the group and get your bids in. There is a terrific array of items and services donated by local businesses and individuals.

Soup and sandwich is on today at Quyon United Church. It’s a nice warm, cozy break from the winter cold.
