.....On June 20, 1920, 15 men attended a meeting to hear about Lionism from an organizer of Lions Clubs and District Governor of Texas and Louisiana, G. M. Cunningham. Five days later, the first official meeting was held, and the new club was formed with L.G. Giacomini elected as president. The official charter date is June 22, 1920
.....Lions 27, Rotary 16 was the score of the ball game and the first money-raising project for the Sterling Lions Club on June 17, 1921. Proceeds of $477.25 from the game were donated to the Good Samaritan Hospital.
.....From the very beginning, the Sterling Lions Club started its service to the community and since then, the Lions have given to and worked on the following projects: the gateway into Riverside Cemetery; marble monument at Summit Springs Battleground; Campfire Girls Lodge (now the Girl Scouts Lodge}; Little League ballpark; and a "Lion's Park" on Division Ave. (later moved to Dawes and Franklin Street. .....Among their projects are the Annual Lions Easter Egg Hunt; donation of Christmas baskets to the needy; ringing the Bell for the Salvation Army; sponsoring the "Friendly Dog Tail Wagging Contest" during the Logan County Fair; buying glasses for needy children; provision for two annual scholarships to NJC; sponsoring of the Best Bedside Nurse Award at NJC; support the Lions Camp for the Handicapped and the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank; recognition of outstanding students from Caliche, Sterling Middle School, and the GED Program at NJC; "Adopt A Highway" clean-up; and sponsoring of the Health Fair. The first Cowboy Breakfast was held in 1952 and is still an annual event, which kicks off the Logan County Fair. In 2000 the first Pioneer Award was presented. It has been an anticipated tradition since that time.
.....In 2001, the Club began a partnership with the Sterling Correctional Facility and Logan Industries in preparing used glasses to be sent all over the world. Glasses from clubs throughout the state come to the Sterling Lions for processing. Before the pandemic they processed about 1,500 pair of glasses each week. .On Feb. 28, 2019 they shipped the ONE MILLIONTH pair of eyeglasses from Sterling.
In 2007, members of the club built the mega-grill, and the Club has been called upon to cook hamburgers and pancakes many times a year including the Cowboy Breakfast, as well as the July 4th Heritage Festival, Flatlanders Car Show, Sportsman’s Experience, and many other events.
.....In 2013, the club added the Hearing Aid Recycling Bank and the Reading Action Program to their projects.
.....During the Centennial Year of the Lions in 2017, International issued a challenge for all clubs to create a Legacy Project in their community. The Sterling Lions erected a Flagpole in Prairie Park, beside the bench and the clock they put in earlier.
.....For more information on the Sterling Lions Club, please contact them at 970-520-4860, on their Facebook page at Sterling Colorado Lions and website at sterlinglionsclub.org. New member applications are welcome and being accepted! Please contact Bob Blach at bob.blach@gmail.com.

Dangling Incentives
There are pros and cons to using incentives to grow your retail sales. You may remember when Wells Fargo fired 5,300 employees after admitting those employees opened more than 2 million deposit and credit card accounts without customers’ authorization. The incentives that encouraged workers to open more accounts at all costs led to this disaster. Incentives for your sales staff are a tricky thing.

Use Of J&J Vaccine On Temporary Pause
In response to the joint CDC and FDA announcement and out of an abundance of caution, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) and the Colorado Joint Vaccine Task Force are alerting providers to temporarily pause use of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) COVID-19 vaccine. Federal health officials recommended temporarily suspending use of the vaccine after reviewing reports of six individuals in the U.S. who got rare and severe blood clots after receiving the vaccine. The federal government is allowing states to determine whether to pause use.

Coloradoans Are Getting Vaccinated
The State of Colorado announced a major milestone in vaccination distribution — more than two million Coloradans have been vaccinated with at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and more than 1.2 million Coloradans have been fully vaccinated.“This is the greatest national effort since World War Two and I’m incredibly proud of how much progress we’ve made in Colorado,” said Governor Jared Polis.
As vaccination efforts continue, Coloradans who aren’t vaccinated are especially urged to continue wearing masks, social distancing, and avoiding group gatherings.

Housing and Utilities Assistance
During this year’s special session, we collaborated with bipartisan legislators in the General Assembly to allocate an additional $54 million in housing assistance through the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA). For more information on DOLA’s housing programs and to access support for your rent or mortgage, visit their website. We also allocated $5 million to Energy Outreach Colorado to help Coloradans with utility assistance. Visit their website for more information on how to access those funds. You can also find more information on other programs serving our state, such as County Housing Authorities, the Colorado Low Income Energy Assistance, and more.
Food Assistance
During this pandemic, 1 in 3 Coloradans aren’t sure where their next meal is coming from. I’m proud that during the special session earlier this year we awarded $5 million to the Food Pantry Assistance Program in the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS). If you’re experiencing food insecurity, learn more about food assistance programs from the CDHS, Food Bank of the Rockies, and others serving the people of Colorado. Organizations looking to help their communities address hunger and food access issues, can apply for assistance with the Emergency Hunger Relief Fund
