Our program today, Tony Noriega, hands out a gift to Lion Allen
Todays Meeting
Lion President Melinda once again led our meeting and called on Lion Bob Line to lead us in saluting our flag, Lion Pat to lead us in singing America the Beautiful, and Lion Dee to do the invocation. Once that was completed, Lion Allen introduced our only guest, Tony Noriega, with Gentiva Hospice, who was also our program today. It was noted that Tony was not related to the more well-known Manuel Noriega of Pamana fame.
The no-fine badge went to Lion John today.

Tony Noriega with Gentiva Hospice
was our program today. He talked about how Gentiva was a nationwide organization that relied on many volunteers to work with those in hospice care and found that many people are all alone when they pass away. Having someone with them, if nothing more than to sit and talk, was a great relief to them.
