FRANNIE WARREN Healthy Lifestyles Manager

Frannie started working with the Boys & Girls Club in 2013 as a Health Specialist in Commerce City and Brighton. In 2015 Frannie took on the role of the Healthy Lifestyles Manager. With a passion in health and fitness, she enjoys working with the Health Specialist that offer a wide variety of health programs to best educate each member on making healthy lifestyle choices. Frannie feels lucky to have the opportunity to work with so many passionate people that work to create a positive culture of health in each club.

Frannie loves being able to call Colorado home. She feels fortunate to have the Rockies as her backyard and loves exploring them with her pup Marshall. When not exploring Frannie enjoys cooking and is always up for trying a new recipe, live music, running around the beautiful parks Denver has to offer, and spending time with her friends and family.

Denver Lions Club Video - You got to watch this
To help celebrate our 100 years the Centennial Committee developed a Centennial Video.  This video is a combination of the Clubs history and several of our Lions talking about our service and what Lions means to them. This video can be used to promote Lions and the Denver Lions Club.  To see the video click here.  It will take you to the YouTube video.   Thanks to all on the Centennial Committee for all their work on the video. 
Be a Delegate and Vote
We need your vote at the Lions State Convention.  We have there Denver Lions running for offices.  Flossie O’Leary – Lion Camp Director, Dwight Steen – RML EyeBank Director, and Steve Kinsky – District Governor.   Lions Flossie and Dwight have competition and we need all the votes can get.  As a club we are allowed 12 voting delegates.  To be a delegate you need to register for the Convention.  The Denver Lions are also the host club of the Convention.  We need your support by registering for the convention.

Grill Masters needed at Lion Camp
Calling all grill masters! The Colorado Lions Camp has a great opportunity to get plugged in to our camp programs. We are looking for Lions Clubs, service organizations, or families to come to camp on Sunday afternoon and grill hotdogs and hamburgers for our campers and staff while the campers are checking in for their week at camp. The camp provides all the supplies. This is an excellent way to see the camp and to bring new members and show Colorado Lions oldest State project in action!
 
We just need volunteers that will help cook, serve, and meet our fabulous campers and staff! We need at least 6 volunteers. No experience necessary - just a love to 'serve"!
For more information, call the camp at 719-687-2087 or email us and let us know if you can help!
 
I have attached the grilling schedule and the spots that are open.  We are looking forward to an amazing summer and we want you to be a part of it!
Rude Park Easter Baskets
The Denver Den Wives (formal known as Mile High Lioness) put together Easter Baskets for the Rude Park kids.  Arranging the baskets were Dottie Lynn, Mary Jane Cook, Mary Alice Fullerton, Betty Elder, and Shirley Frye.
Bronco Tickets
It may be springtime but it is always Bronco's time.  The Club has two pairs of Bronco's season tickets.   The seats are section 103 rows 13 and 16.  If you ever sat in these seats you would know how great they are.  Up close to the action on about the 30 yard line.  Pure excitement. 
 
As we did last year we will auction the tickets to Lions..  The process is if you are interested  in one or both pairs of tickets send an email to Lion Dwight that you are interested.  dwight.steen@gmal.com   He needs to receive the email that you are interested in participating in the auction by April 30.  We will then have a sealed bid auction with the interested Lions.  High bid wins.  
 
The face value and minimum bid is $3162 for one pair of tickets for the regular season games.  The pre season games are available at no charge.  We usually give the preseason games to Savio house.  The winning bid above the face value can be given the Foundation.  
 
If you want to be in the auction send an email to Lion Dwight. 
Last Week - Social Robots
Josh Lane, Principle Engineer, of DreamFace Technologies gave us a look into the future which is not very far away in how robots can help seniors. Born from a decade of research conducted in the Computer Vision and Robotics Lab at the University of Denver, they continue to pioneer the field of Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR). They have combined intelligent perception, emotional recognition, facial animation, natural language processing, and human expression to create DreamFace Tech. They say:  “We don’t create robots, We build companions.”
 
As the earth’s population ages, it is our job to take care of it. At DreamFace we are developing tech that eases the workload for facility caregivers and therapists, improves the quality of life as you age, and gives new meaning to independence for those who want to live in their own homes.
 
Hopefully Josh will return next year to demonstrate the Social Companion / Robot.
 We will celebrate the 100 year birthday of Denver Lions on Saturday October 14, 2017.   Put this date on your calendaer
