Todays Meeting

Lion president Tom led our meeting today and called on Lion Tony to lead us in the pledge, Lion Dee to lead us in singing “God Bless America and Lion Bob Line to do the invocation. Lion Tony introduced our guests today, Joe Johnson and his wife, Jill Caviezel, who provided information about the Valley Center for the Blind. 

Announcements

Lion Pat announced that the Valley Life Charter School would present “The Music Man” this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and he encouraged all to attend.

Lion Bob Line announced that the rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated.  He is alive and well. Apparently, someone thought that Bob Line had passed away and mentioned it on social media.

Lion Melinda read, for the second time, the Slate of Officers for the 26-27 year.

Lion Melinda was also the secret greeter today and had several people who did not shake her hand and earned the club some much-needed funds.

Our speaker today was Jill, from Valley Center for the Blind.

Happy Bucks 

Lion Melinda was happy because her granddaughter was crowned the Woodlake Rodeo Queen, but she was also sad because, on the same day her granddaughter found out she was going to be Rodeo Queen, her horse had to be put down.

Lion Allen was happy because he was going to Redondo Beach for a week to escape the valley heat.
