PAGE 2 WARM SPRINGS, OREGON DECEMBER 22, 1976
The Warm Springs Lions
Club celebrated a very special
evening Saturday, December
11, at Kah-Nee-Ta Lodge. It
was Charter Night for the
Warm Springs Lions which
represents the first Lions Club
on an Indian reservation, and
it was Oregon’s 200th Lions
Club to be officially chartered
in America’s 200th year as a
nation.
The Lions Club is an inter
national organization with a
membership of over one mil
lion men from approximately
150 nations who strive together
to provide unselfish service to
their communities, their nat-
ions and their fellow man.
Last summer, a small
group of men from Warm
Springs met with members of
the Madras Lions Club to dis
cuss the possibility of a club
here at Warm Springs. With
their assistance and a growing
interest in the organization
here, the idea soon became a
reality. The Prineville and
Redmond Lions were also ins
trumental in helping get the
Warm Springs Lions Club off
the ground.
Warm Springs now has its
own Lions Club with 32 charter
members. During an impres
sive ceremony on Charter
Night at Kah-Nee-Ta, the new
members were initiated into
the organization by Murry
Duley of the Park Rose Lions
Club, and the installation of
officers was conducted by Dick
Rasmussen, Deputy District
Governor.
The Warm Springs Lions
Club officers are: Richard
Macy (President), Uren Leo
nard (1st Vice President), Sid
Miller (2nd Vice President),
Nathan Jim (3rd Vice Pres
ident), Charles Nathan (Sec
