Todays Meeting
Lion President Melinda led our meeting today and called on Roar Editor Lion Roy to lead the pledge, then on Lion Bob Line to lead us in singing God Bless America and asked Lion Pete to lead us in the invocation.
No fine badge went to Lion Tony, who breathed a sigh of relief at the money he had saved.
Announcements
Lion Pat announced that his barbershop group, the Mighty Oak Chorus, will perform a Christmas program at the Rize Church at 1023 N. Chinworth on December 13th. Tickets will be available soon on their website.
Lion Aaron gave us a report on Lion Betty. She is doing better, and later this month, she will go to Stanford for more tests to determine the issue with her heart. She thanked us for the card we recently sent her.
Lion Tom Link’s wife Ordonna’s funeral service will be held at the First Prespertian Church on Oak St. this coming Saturday starting at 11 a.m.
Lion Brad agreed to take over meeting duties while Lion President Malinda is in Texas this coming Friday, visiting with former Host Lions Carol and Ed Jones.
Lion Melinda did not select a secret greeter today, so she put in $5 for that transgression.
Lion Melinda reviewed some details discussed at this morning’s board meeting. One was that any new requests for donations in the next few months would be put on hold. The club is bleeding money from low attendance at meetings (we have a minimum that Left of Center requires for lunch, and we rarely meet that minimum) and has not had any profitable fundraisers in several years.
An idea was floated to set up a letter to be sent to local businesses, giving a little info about our club and asking those companies to have some employees join us to become a part of the community.
It’s not my fault says Lions Pete.
Yep, it is your Fault says Lion Pat
Happy Bucks
Lion Pete recently returned from a European vacation, where he won a jackpot on a cruise ship and gave $20 as his 10% to the club.
Lion Pat gave five happy bucks because Lion Dee’s back surgery went very well. The pain in his back is gone, though sitting down can be pretty painful. Also, his daughter is now employed as a wound care specialist at the San Diego VA Hospital and is enjoying it.
Lion Tom Gaebe had a happy buck for a hunting trip in Oregon that was a success.
Lion Steve was happy that his wife was a great caretaker and had been driving him around. tanking him to doctor visits and to the meeting today. After fifty-four years of marriage, “you can’t get much better than that,” he said.
Lion Brad was happy the election was over, and now, as an insurance agent, he can’t wait till medicare enrollment is over.
Lion Melinda was $10 happy to be traveling to Texas to see Lions Ed and Carol Jone, and while there, she will be able to see her Grandaughter.
