TRAVELOGUE
The DeWitt Noon Lions have provided the area with information and entertainment in the form of a bi-monthly Travelogue.These are slide/video presentations of the travels of numerous individ-uals everywhere in the world. The shows are
presented on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month beginning in January each year and
concluding in May. Two shows daily are presented
at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM at the DeWitt Operhouse
Theater. A suggested donation of $2.50 per person
is the only cost. A refreshment stand is available
for customer convenience. This is the 31st year
of Lions Club Travelogues in this community!
The Travelogue Chairman is Richard A. Polansky, who may be contacted at any time for further information about this event. The Travelogues
are the most productive money raising events for
the DeWitt Noon Lions Club.
The new season--2005--has been planned at this time. If you know of a program or presenter that may be available for a presentation, contact Richard Polansky by phone at 563-659-3098 or by e-mail at: polansky@willinet.net
