Auction Items

None, nada, nothing was auctioned off today. Lion Roy said he had gone to Woodlake but did not bring back what he had purchased.

Happy Bucks 

Lion Dee was happy that last Saturday, he attended a school concert where his granddaughter performed. Hannah Board, Lion Brad’s granddaughter, was also in. He heaped praise on both of them. 

Lion Pet was happy to see Lion Mark had a new company logo on his shirt, and he thought it looked a little like an Audi logo.  He had Mark stand up and show the club. 

Lion Mark was also happy with the new logo, and he had a dollar because he was not in attendance last week due to computer issues. 

Lion Brad was happy that the 49ers had won last Sunday, on their way to the SuperBowl  (maybe) 

Lion Pat had two happy dollars because of the millage he was still getting out of a joke Roy told about the three bears last year. 

Today’s speaker, Clark Hammond, had a happy buck for being back with us again and being able to tell a little about Young Life. 

Lion Allen was happy that he had been hired as a census worker. All office work, he said, he would not have to go out and knock on doors. 

Lion Tony was happy that his guest, Nathen, could make it today. 

Lion Mark was happy that the Packers at least made the 49ers week last weekend in their win. 

Lion Roy had a quote for Lion Mark from Married with Children’s Al Bundy, “it’s only a game if you win; if you lose, it’s a stinking waste of time” 

Fines

For the first time (since last week), Lion Tom Link was fined for being late. 

Lion Tom fined Lion Brad Board. 

Lion Roy fined Lion Bob Line because Roy and his wife stayed at Quail Park Shannon Ranch last Friday night and found that the place was locked up after 9 PM. Luckily they were able to get into their room. 

Clark Hammond of Young Life/Lives talks to the club about the program. They have an evening fundraiser on Friday, February 23, and the club has purchased a table. If you would like to attend, contact
