Todays Meeting

Lion Dee stood in for Lion President Melinda at todays meeting and called on Lion Pat to lead us in singing America The Beautiful, Lion Allen to salute our flag, and Lion Pete to do the invocation.

Today was our annual student speaker contest, so at this point, Lion Dee turned the meeting over to Lion Brad, who had arranged the contest along with Lion Pete (thanks to both of you).  Lion Brad read the rules for the contest. No talking, cell phones turned off, no eating or drinking, no one should enter or leave during the speeches and the shocker, no smoking during the talks.

This years topic was “For a better world, what would you do”. Both girls talked about poverity in their speaches and were on time (between 5 and 10 minutes) . Precious was the winner, takeing home a certificate, a check for $100 and she will now go on to the next level. Lupe got a check for $25 and a certificate.

Thanks to our Judeges and helpers, Robyn Hart, Clark Hammond of Young Life and Lions Zone Charemen Johnathan Ward.
