Meadowbrook Golf andLions District Governer

Guest speakers at the Cambridge Lions Club were Mel Pesuit, golf coach at Meadowbrook High School, Cordell Brown, founder of Camp Echoing Hills, and Lions District 13G Governor Robert Buxton.

Pesuit introduced members of the 2008 Meadowbrook golf team. Seniors are Justin Haught, Trent Lasko, Anthony Neff, and Nick Yakubik. Underclassmen are Eli Pesuit, Cole Pennington, and Matt Miller.

The Meadowbrook golfers participated in the state tournament placing eighth in the state. There are two hundred thirty-three teams in the state. “We got to play on the Scarlet course at Ohio State,” Pesuit said. “It’s quite an honor to play on a course where such golfing greats as Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskoph played.”

“We’re losing four seniors this year, but we have high expectations for our other team members,” Pesuit said. “I have seven players who are interchangeable. They are all highly motivated.”

Cordell Brown is the founder of Camp Echoing Hills located in Coshocton County. The camp provides a place for children with disabilities and special needs to have a great outdoor experience. More information is available at www.echoinghillsvillage.org.

Brown is also youth coordinator for Lions district 13G. “We plan to send a youth band to the 2009 international Lions convention in Minneapolis. We are still recruiting students to participate in June and July,” Brown said.

Buxton regularly visits one of the fifty Lions Clubs in the nine-county district. “Thank you for your support of Camp Echoing Hills,” Buxton said. “Several of your members helped put a new floor in a trailer there.”

“You are an active club and have added several new members,” Buxton said. “As Lions we tend to pull through when there is a need.” Lions clubs provide support for eye care and eye glasses for those in need. Local funds also help the diabetes support group.

“We plan to send a band to the Rose Parade in 2010 from the School for the Blind in Columbus,” Buxton said. “We will also have to send a sighted person to accompany each of the band members. We are recruiting others and hope to have a band of twenty five members. They will need support for uniforms, air fare, and hotels and food.”
