Hi Lions,
Just a reminder that our next meeting will be our Annual Awards Night. This will take place on Tuesday, May 14th at 6:30pm at the VFW. This special evening will honor outstanding teachers, public servants, community volunteers and scholarship recipients who have demonstrated exceptional dedication and commitment in their respective roles. It promises to be a meaningful and inspiring occasion to recognize the hard work and contributions of individuals who make a positive impact in our community. The success of this event is due to many lions who have contributed their time and expertise to identify and gather our honorees. Thank you to those who have helped to make this special night possible.
Lastly, a big thank you to Lion Robert Hubbird who organized another fantastic mystery trip. This year's mystery trip brought us to Bourbon Street where we traveled back in time and danced all night to an excellent Motown band. Before the show we also enjoyed food, a few beverages, and wonderful hospitality from Lions Leo and Maria. A great time was had by all!

Just Wondering:
-- How do you get off a non-stop flight?
-- How come noses run and feet smell?
-- Why is it called a TV set when there's only one?
-- Why do we put cups in the dishwasher and dishes in the cupboard?
