Visalias host lions meeting for 1-16-26

Visalia’s city manager, Leslie Caviglia, talks to the club about the city’s five-year plan.

Todays Meeting

Our president, Lion Tom, was unable to attend the meeting, and the first vice president, Lion Colin, presided, calling on Lion Roy to lead us in the flag salute, Lion Dee to lead us in song, and Lion Pete to deliver the invocation.

The no fine badge went to Lion Pat today.

Auction items

Lion Roy was given a bottle of meds by Lion Bob Line, who had noted that Lion Tom Link had left them on the table at their morning coffee meeting. Roy decided they made a good auction item, and Lion Tom paid $5 to get them back.

Happy Bucks 

Lion Pete was happy that Friday was his wife, Claudia’s, birthday, and he was smart enough not to reveal her age. 

Lion Dee was happy to be back at the club after a stint in the hospital and a few days in rehab.

Lion Geoff was happy to have gone to the Chiefs’/Raiders game in Vegas recently, though the outcome did not suit him. But the suit he had on at the game left no doubt about where his loyalties lie.

Lion Roay was happy to see Lion Dee back at our meeting and that he was on the mend.

Lion Colin was also happy to see Lion Dee.

Lion Roy had given Lion Alvin a ride to the meeting and had learned that they had even more in common than having lived across the street from each other years ago. It is indeed a small world.

Lion Mark was also happy to see Lions Dee and Alvin at the meeting.

 

Fines

 Lion Tom Link was fined for being late. 

Lion Mark fined himself for having to leave early. 

Lion Dee, feeling like his old self, fined Lion Melinda for the terrible food he had while at Kaweah. The Oatmeal was especially bad, and he stated he would not serve it to prisoners of war. (he did say that the nurses and staff were great) 

Drawings 

Lion Leigh won the $5 drawing and donated it to the Leo club. 

The Lotto Ticket went to your Roar editor, Lion Roy, who thought, “Finally, I’ll get paid for writing this thing,”  but alas, it was not to be.

49ers

Lion Leigh also won the free ad today.

He said, “Go 49ers.”
But he’ll have to carry that over to next year.
