Lion Vicki with the no fine badge. 

Lion president Aaron lead the meeting today and called on Lion Tom to lead us in singing our song, Lion president Aaron did the flag salute himself and he called on Lion Tony to do the invocation.

Guests

Happy Bucks 

Lion Pat was happy he had a gas insert put into his fireplaces so he is no longer burning wood.

Lion Bob Line was happy that his great-grandson pitched a winning game for his Little league team. He will remind Lion Pete, (who is his grandfather) to give a happy buck for it next week when Pete returns.

Lion Roy was happy that Saturday will be his 11th wedding Anniversary.

Lion Steve was happy he got to spend 4 days in Long Beach because his house was being tented for termites. Lion Pat replied that he must have spent all four days inside because he came back with no tan.

Lion Vicki was happy because her husband was still doing well and that she and Allen have the same middle name.

Fines

Lion Tom was fined because his phone rang during the meeting.

Lion Roy fined the unknown truck driver that was responsible for the rock that hit the windshield of his truck.

Winners and Losers

$5 went to Lion Tom who donated it to the Lions Eye Foundation.

Lotto tickets went to Lion Bob Line.

Lion Tony drew for the coveted white marble (again)  but came up with a yellow one that did not net him anything.

Today’s Program

Ed Needham with the Tulare County sheriffs association gave us a talk today about what the association is, what it does, and how it’s getting back into gear after two years of COVID. He also has been in the Citrus business for many years and gave us some information on that business. 

Lion Tony won the Free Add for the second week in a row, this week and I am so thankful that he decided to go with the Rockies.
