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.

Auction Items
Lion Tom Link had been to the coast and brought back a $10 bill, which he substituted for the bag of saltwater taffy that was usual for Tom’s trip to Moro Bay.
Happy Bucks
Lion Pat was happy that a biopsy on his elbow came back negative for cancer.
Lion Aaron was happy to be back. He is doing well, and his wife, Lion Betty, is also doing better and hopes to be back in the club soon.

Lion Roy was happy to see Lion Aaron with us today, and he had three happy bucks as the Dodger won all three of three against the Giants this week.
Fines
Lion Dee fined Lion Roy for his decision to follow baseball again. Perhaps those three games this week contributed to that fine.
Lion Colin fined himself for being late.
Lion Melinda fined herself for calling Lion Allen, Lion Roy.
Lion Dee fined Lion Tom Link for playing golf in the rain. Lion Pat said he thought that was dedication to the sport.
Lion Pat fined Lion President Melinda for not calling for fines for those who did not have a badge on.
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.
