Visalia Host Lions meeting of 4-12-24

Todays Meeting

Lion President Melinda called on Lion Steve to lead us in saluting our flag, Lion Dee to lead us in singing God Bless America, and Lion John to do the invocation.

Lion Bob Line won the no-fine badge today.

Lion Tony was our secret greeter today, and the only person who didn’t shake his hand was Lion Elaine.

Announcements

Lion President Melinda announced that last Wednesday’s board meeting was canceled due to a lack of interest—actually, because no members were able to attend. We decided to punt it into May.

Lion Melinda announced that she would be out of town next week, and Lion Dee offered to take the podium at next week’s meeting.

Happy Bucks 

Lion Melinda had $5 happy bucks because she has Cussons coming from Iowa next week. She was excited to see them and show them some local attractions. She was also happy that Lion Dee would stand in for her next week when she was out and about.

Lion Elaine was happy to be back at our club meeting after being gone for a few weeks. She was also happy that Lion Betty is on the mend after surgery and hopes to return to us soon.

Lion Mark had a happy $6 because he had bought a new car.

Lion John was also happy that he had a new car, though he had purchased it last year and had forgotten to give a happy buck for it at that time.

Lion Pat was happy that one of his grandsons was taking up fencing. (that’s the sport, by the way, not putting up fence boards)

Lion Bob Line, the no-fine badge winner today, was happy because a granddaughter of one of the residents at Quail Park Shannon Ranch, where he lives, was on Wheel of Fortune and one some mula.

Lion Karen was happy to see our speakers today.

Lion Allen was happy he had a good time in Anaheim watching his Red Sox play the Angeles last weekend.

Fines

Lion Eleine was fined because she was late.

Lion Dee fined Lion Tom Link for conversing during the meeting.

Lion Melinda called for anyone who did not have a badge, but all of us did.

Drawings 

The $5 drawing went to Lion John, who donated it to the Leo Club.
