Visalia Host Lions Roar Newsletter for 6-5-26

Todays Meeting

Lion President Tom, counting down the weeks before he becomes ex-President Tom, asked Lion Steve to lead us in the pledge, Lion Mark to do the invocation, and Lion Pat to lead us in singing the song.
Guests today were Kevin McCusker from Cal Water. He was also our speaker.

We did draw for the No Fine Badge, and it went to Lion Leigh.

The secret greeter today was Lion Tom Link.  Several people did not want to shake his hand, and that made the club a little more profitable.

Announcements

Lion Melinda announced that a building the Lions Club had owned for many years had been sold, and that the proceeds would go to several places, including the Leo clubs.

Lion Dee announced that Lions Night at the Rawhide would be on Thursday, June 11th, and that money was due today, the last day that you could pay.

Lion Tom Link said we had given money to the Houston Elementary School for good-attendance gifts. We have been doing that for many years.

Lion Allen announced two vision screenings, both on August 7th.

June birthdays

The only June birthday in attendance was Lion Pete, and we sang happy birthday to him.

Auction items

Lion Tony Loliva auctioned off moonshine found in our storage locker, which was from the murder mystery dinner. It went to Lion Pat for $20.

Lion Tom Link had purchased some chocolate on a trip to the coast, and Lion Karen bought it for $12.

 Happy Bucks 

Lion Bob Line was happy that Lion Mark bought his breakfast, unknowingly, for him. If he had known Mark was going to buy his breakfast, he said he would have ordered a larger one.

Lion Pete was happy that his business was up for Small Business of the Year with the Chamber of Commerce.

Lion Mark was happy for Pete and his award, and he was happy that he was able to order to pay for Bob’s breakfast.

Lion Melinda was happy to have helped Lion Roy at the swim team photo shoot in Exeter on Wednesday. She nearly killed herself from the heat, but she did survive and had a good time.

Lion Roy had a happy buck for Pete, and thanks to Melinda for her help with the swim team.

Lion Pat was also happy for Pete’s award because Pete is his lawyer.

Lion President Tom was happy for our guest today and was happy for the fish in Hume Lake because once again, he had gone fishing and caught nothing.

Fines

Lion President Tom fined Lion Bob for interrupting today’s song by singing a different song. He also fined all Lions who were not wearing any Lions clothing. 

Drawings 

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

Lotto tickets went to Lion Pete, 

The $60 marble drawing went to Lion Tony, who drew a different-colored marble and went home empty-handed.  

Lion Roy won the free ad, and here is Lucy, his good luck Dodger Dog.
