The Crafts Bazaar was held on November 12th at the Community Building. We appreciate all the Lions that helped set up and sell brooms and pecans. We sent letters of appreciation to all our vendors. We hope that they had a good day.

We have not heard how much money the Club earned selling the Belk's Charity Sale tickets. Should know soon. The club has pecans and black walnuts to sell. Get some and try to sell them to help our club. Call Carolyn Caldwell.

Our club was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Jim Forrester. A memorial gift will be sent to Camp Dogwood.
