Lion Wendy Sander, Woodville Lions Secretary
WOODVILLE, WI – The Woodville Lions Club met on Monday, April 14, 2025, for their monthly meeting and the Woodville Cafe served a delicious meal. The first order of business was the induction of a new member into the Club. Libby Whirry has been on the Syttende Mai Queen Committee for a number of years and has now officially joined the Woodville Lions Club. Lion Hattie Freshwater is her sponsor. Welcome Libby!
Other business consisted mainly of finalizing the many details for Woodville’s 74th Annual Syttende Mai Celebration being held on May 15, 16, and 17, 2025. The Club has received many generous donations from the community and surrounding area to assist with making the festival a success. Many thanks to our donors.
The Woodville Lions Club also unanimously voted to assist with partial funding of the T-shirts for this year’s Viking Middle School Syttende Mai Fun Run.
The Syttende Mai posters are available now along with the cash prize raffle tickets and collectable 74th Annual Syttende Mai buttons.
The Lions Club was also happy to note that our Syttende Mai Queen Katelyn Gustafson and First Princess Addisyn Wichelman will be continuing their reign representing our fine community for 2025-26. The Club agreed to provide additional scholarship funds and to send both to the upcoming St. Paul Winter Carnival in January 2026.
The Woodville Lions are looking forward to seeing everyone at Woodville’s 74th Annual Syttende Mai Celebration on May 15, 16, and 17, 2025!
