Auction Items
Today was a day for auction items; we started it off with Lion Betty, who had been to the coast for Lion Aaron’s birthday and brought back some Almond Brittle that went to Lion pat for $8; Lion Tom Link had also been to the coast and had a bag of cookies from the Brown Butter Cookie Company that were purchased for $7 by Lion Roy (and they were good) Lion Pete had a Golf Marker from St. Andrews golf course in Scotland, where golf got its start over 600 years ago, the marker went for Lion pat for $20.
Happy Bucks
Lion Aaron was happy that he and Betty had been to Avila Beach last week for his birthday.
Lion Leigh was $5 happy to be back at a club meeting after many weeks away; in that time, he got a new granddaughter and celebrated his 36th anniversary.
Lion Roy had a happy buck for the California September 11th memorial in Clovis, close to his home. The beautiful memorial even has a sapling from the tree that survived the attacks 21 years ago in New York.
Lion Pat was happy to let us know that if we wanted to give to the Tulare County Special Olympics, we should send our check to Leigh because if we give to the state of national Special Olympics, non of that money goes to Tulare County. (Leigh is the head of the Tulare County Special Olympics)
Lion Tom Gaebe was happy for all those who had helped at the recent band review.
Lion Elaine was happy about the rain we had received and the coming rain.
Lion Karen was thankful for all the help selling pumpkins at the Trunk of treat.
Lion President Tony was also happy for the Trunk or Treat, where we sold $400 worth of pumpkins and had a great time.
Lion Tom Link was happy Halloween was over, as he had over 1,500 kids that evening. (did he have one of those counters that they have when you go in the door at Costco?)
Lion Pat was happy they had an old fashion hay ride in Elderwood with about 20 kids, from babies to teens.
Fines
Lion Pete fined Lion Tom Link because Tom’s phone rang during the meeting.
Lion Allen fined Lion Aaron for going to the coast for his birthday instead of going to the New Members’ night in Caruthers.
