Secret greater: Lion Betty, who was able not to shake some hands and earn some money for the club.
New member, Lion Elaine Dias gave us a little information about herself in her introductory speech. She was raised in Goshen, graduated from Mt. Whitney, and is retired. She wore her badge upside down, as all new members do until they attend a board meeting, for only a little over an hour, as we had a short board meeting at the end of today’s meeting.
Guests
Today’s guests were a former member and former president (2013-14), Lion Jamil Nushwat, who rejoined the club (welcome back), and his guest and fellow attorney Andrew. Our Mayor Steve Nelsen was also with us today as our program. Also with us today was Lion Justin.

Lion Allen announced that the club raised $180 for Goshen school at last Wednesday’s evening meeting and that it was used to buy lots of learning accessories for the kids at the school. We also did a vision screening at the school last Tuesday where we screened 48 kids and refired 11 of them for eye exams.

Today’s Program
Visalia Mayor Steve Nelsen, who we found wears many hats and sits on several boards, was our guest today and had plenty to talk about, including some of the things going on downtown, water, and flood insurance. Always an interesting program when the mayor is with us. By the way, we need programs. If you know of someone who would be interested in talking to our club let Lion Brent know: brobinson@moneyconcepts.com
