Happy Bucks 

Lion Pete had a happy buck for the good job Lion President Colin did in emceeing the 100th anniversary dinner last Saturday. He was also happy that his mom, who had been in the emergency room last week, was home and doing well.

Lion Dee was happy that Kevin McCusker was with us today and for the$1,500 check that the Water Service gave to the club for the 100th anniversary. Kevin also put in an application for membership in our club.

Lion Roy was happy to have gone to Fairfield for a few days with his wife Javonna, and for Bill Boudough being with us today. 

Lion Amy was happy she had helped out at an event for the Valley Center for the Blind and, in doing so, had learned Braille. 

Lion Brad had $5 because he had missed several meetings, but he was happy to be with us, happy to have moved his wife up to Washington, and to have stopped in central Oregon for some ice cream (Brad said he did not stop off at any other place that is close to the Ice Cream Stand) 

Lion Bob Line was happy for the refund that he received from State Farm. 

Lion Tom Link had a couple of happy bucks: He had volunteered at the navigation center this past week, and he had played golf in Exeter with Dee, who played very badly, according to Lion Tom. Lion Tom also played nine holes at the Country Club, and his score was just under 100.
