FUNDRAISER FOR LION ROBERT "BOB" WALLER held at the Earle Baum Center, 4537 Occidental Road, S.R. was a success. A fundraiser to raise needed funds to help cover part of Lion Bob Waller's medical bills was put together for a fellow Lion member diagnosed with Terminal Cancer last June. Lions Bob & Karen has lived and been an active force in helping in community from 1980's to 2009. Lion Bob fulfilled his time in Vietman, when he was discharged from the Army, he settled in Santa Rosa, California. Lions Bob & Karen live in Rohnert Park and have been active in helping the community through the Lions club for many years, first as Lioness now as Lions. When Lion Bob was surprised with his diagnosis of "Terminal Cancer" he had to start Chemo right away. He found that he couldn't run his business as by this time, he was in a lot of pain and had to close his doors. Everyone knows how that goes, you close your doors, you have no income but the bills are faithful and they don't stop coming in. Lion Bob is keeping a positive attitute and fighting to beat this cancer. Chemo leaves him weak and tired these days. Lion Karen has had to take time off being a Lion and from her Scaffolding business to stay home to care for Lion Bob as he became weak very fast with his regular Chemo sessions. They are both keeping a very positive attitude and has some good days and some bad days. His club, the Santa Rosa Roseland Lions, with the help of Lion Wes Boardman and his club The Santa Rosa Host Lions, all worked together to put a fundraiser on for Lion Bob within a month. Together we were able to raise $3,000.00 to help with a small part of his medical bills. All clubs were contacted via e-mail, telephone and visitations. Region, Lion Buck Larson and Zone, Lion Gary Lazzarini, Lions Adolf, Jean & Harold Jensen and Pat Sterck doing visitations helped spread the word. The fundraiser was born and the event lead by S.R. Roseland Lions Club President Lion Bonnie Baclawski, chair with Lion Pat Sterck as Co-Chair. Assisted by Lion Wes and his S.R. Host Lions Club taking care of the BBQ Tri-Tip Dinner with surrounding clubs attending, fantastic weather ordered for October 17th was delivered in a timely manner making it a beautiful day for all to enjoy the outdoors at Earle Baum Center. The day started with a Pan Cake Breakfast from 8 to 11am, put together one week before the event by past club treasurer & member, Lion Carla, good friend of the club and Lions Bob & Karen Waller. Assisting her were her son Al and friend Susan. Rummage sale ran from 8am to the end of the event 5pm, this was put together and run by Lion Bonnie Baclawski with help from her sister Cheryl.
