Happy Bucks
Lion Dee was $5 happy to be back at our meeting today as he has been out recovering from back surgery for several weeks.
Lion Roy was happy to see Dee back. Since he had watched a YouTube video showing several Yankees Fan’s reactions to game five of the World Series, he was reminded (because Dee was back) to have another happy buck for the Dodgers win.
Lion Pete was happy that Mary Jane from Visalia Emergency Aid was with us today and that Dee was back and doing better. He was also glad to see Mary Jane from Visalia Emergency Aid.
Lion Tom Link had a happy buck because his daughter was with us today, and he was one of the few lion members who remembered that the last meeting before Christmas was always Lady’s Day.
Mary Jane also had a happy buck because the club supported the Visalia Emergence Air Council with its annual check of $1,000. We also collected over $500 additional from club members today, along with toys for the kids. She was also happy because she was going to Texas on Monday for a well-deserved vacation.
