Insight, Connections and Inspiring

Our second convention and this was better than the first one. Last year we started out rather apprehensive about the whole affair, but soon became comfortable after the first day.
Now that we know more Lions our conversations are a pickup from the last time we met. Also understanding who is who and the protocol for how things are supposed to be and when, really helps. The Food Fair was again a big hit, with this year’s theme “Earth Day”. Continue reading
Open House at Sycamore
Written by Mary Stephenson (3-22-2017)
Jim, Judy, Gary and I all went to Sycamore School to help prepare and handout a hot dog dinner yesterday.
It was for an Open House event for parents, students and teachers.
Always a pleasure serving the youngsters of Sycamore, they are very well behaved.
We were pleasantly surprised by many of the students accomplishments with musical instruments. When Susanna had told us that there would be music we were not expecting that the kids would be the entertainment. Violins, drums and keyboard.

Old marketing terms ringing heavily in my brain: Know Your Audience.
This was a lesson I should have taken in to account on Thursday.
Gary and I had gone over to Sycamore School after last Thursday’s meeting by the request of Principal Susanna Winstead.
Just a simple little task of reading a Dr. Seuss book to kids.
Party Animals and Conventions

Got up Sunday morning only to discover, some had been having far too much fun the night before! There had been a party going on under my kitchen sink. By the looks of the mess, and things knocked over, it was either mice (one could not have caused that much havoc), a rat or most likely the culprit…a ground squirrel. At least they didn’t figure out how to kick open the door and have free run of the house.
We have formed a committee for fundraising. Our first meeting was after the general meeting on Thursday. We made progress and all shared a lot of great ideas that we are following up with.

Everyone that showed up for the Crab Party on the 28th, I hope had a great time. We sure did.
Hats off to Charlie Duncan and Ron Mino putting on a great event. The weather definitely was kind to us, could not have asked for a better day in January.
If you happened to arrived early you might have gotten one of those teachable moments! Yes, some of us learned something we can take with us for future events we might attend. Continue reading
