Todays Meeting

Lion President Tony led our meeting today and called on Lion Dee to lead us in singing God Bless America, Lion Aaron for the flag salute, and Lion Bob Line to do the invocation.

Lion Dee won the no-fine badge.

Announcements 

This week’s meeting is our Wednesday evening at 5:30 at Quail Park Shannon Ranch. If you have not done so already, contact Lion Lauri at laurimaguilar@gmail.com  and let her know you will be attending and if you will be bringing a guest. 

Lions Leigh and Dee joined another La Sierra Military Academy’s Leo Club meeting. Things are moving right along with the group. They have about twenty members and have their first project, helping out at the April 28th Special Olympics Track and field event. 

Happy Bucks 

Lion Betty was happy they recently had a new garage door installed at their house.

Lion Bob Line was happy his grandson, an El Diamonte high school coach, was featured in an article in the Visalia Times-Delta. (a local newspaper)

Lion Pat was $5 happy that a particular quartet he knows (and belongs to) recently sang the National Anthem at the Visalia Rawhide game. It actually ended up being a duo because certain people (Lion Dee) did not get the message and watched from the stands.

Lion Leigh was happy that his granddaughter and two great-grandkids were back in town from a stay in Michigan.

Lion Dee was happy that the Might Oak Chorus he is part of is having an event next Saturday, April  29th, at the Neighborhood Church.

Lion Mark was happy that one of his kids had completed a move from Texas to Idaho.

Lion Roy was happy that the online ticket ordering system is up and running for our I Love the 80s to Death Murder Mystery Dinner on September 16th.
