Happy Bucks

Lion Roy was happy that he had his usual amount of kids for Halloween: zero, up from last year’s negative 0.
Fines
Lion Mark fined himself because he had to leave early.
Lion Pete fined acting president Lion Roy because he had not sent out an email reminding him of the meeting schedule, so he, along with Lion Dee and Lion Pat, showed up last Friday when there was no meeting, being that there was a Wednesday evening meeting that week.
Lion Karen fined Lion John because she did not get the normal Lions 10% discount at John’s Feet for Life shoe store, she was informed that it was now just 5%. In his defense, Lion John said that was a mistake, and the Lion’s discount is still 10%. She also fined Lions Pete, Dee, and Pat for not knowing the schedule and coming to Left of Center for the meeting last Friday.
Lion Irist East-Feaver from the Visalia Emergence Air counsel and the Sequoia Lions Club was our program today. She talked about the Race against Hunger taking place on Thanksgiving morning and what Emergence Aid does for the needy people of the county.
