Visalia Host Lions Roar Newsletter for 11-6-26

Lion Bob, what? I didn’t win? 

Todays Meeting

Lion President Colin was back at the helm today and called on Lion Steve to lead us in the flag salute, Lion Bob to lead us in singing  God Bless America, and Lion Dee to do the invocation.

Lion Tony introduced our guest, Amy Avila from Family Services, who was also our program today.

Lion Amy won the no fine badge today.

Announcements

It was announced that there were no announcements.

Auction items

Lion Amy recently attended her brother-in-law’s wedding in Italy and brought some Italian bread to auction; it went to Lion Allen for $13.

Lion Melinda is telling us how it is. 

Happy Bucks 

Lion Melinda was happy to have spent a week at the coast recently.

Lion Karen was happy that Amy Avila could join us on short notice as our speaker.

Lion Tom Gaebe was happy that the USC Trojans had beaten the Ohio State Buckeyes last week. He was also happy to be going on his annual hunting trip to Oregon.

Lion Amy was happy to be back with us and thanked Lions Dee, Pat, and Tony for standing in for her as Tail Twister.

Lion Karen had a buck as she announced that her grandson was selling cookies again this year, $24 for a box.

Fines

Lion Colin fined Lion Tom Link for, yep, being late.

Lion Colin received several fines from those Lions who did not have their badge on. That would including your Roar editor. 

Lion Melinda fined Lion Roy for calling our annual Holiday party, set for December 18th, “Ladies Day”. I paid the fine, but I included it in the newsletter because Lion Tom Link called it that last Friday, so he ended up paying another dollar.

Drawings 

 The $5 drawing went to Lion Roy, who donated it to the Leo Club. 

The Lotto ticket went to Lion Tony. 

The Marble went to Lion Bob, who drew a color other than white and went home with nothing more than the hopes and dreams you get from winning the ability to draw for the marble. 

Lion Karen won the free ad.
