In order to memorialize a long practiced, but previously unwritten, 3-visits guest policy, and to clarify that is also applies to family (or other guests that are not visiting the club in order to be potential members) after 3 free meals per calendar year, the Board approved the following policy:

A Lion can bring the same guest three (3) times and then must pay the going meal rate ($10.00) for inactive members.
