Waiting For the Rain
Written by Mary Stephenson
We had District Governor Jamie Hart visit us on October 6th. The question always remains…”were we on our best behavior?” Probably not, but our Lion President made up for it by wearing shirt and tie (3 stooges tie)! But what can you possibly expect from the “wild bunch” anyways!
Some of us went and had another meeting with Susanna Winstead of Sycamore School on October 10th. There will be a follow-up meeting on November 7th.
On the 10th we also went to Redding Library and presented them a check, for the Shasta County Library Literacy Program.
October 11th we did vision testing at Grant School and the 17th we will be at Manzanita School.
Coming up on October 22nd is another fun night with potluck and Bunco. Starting at 4:30 pm.
Is it Oktoberfest or Just Anything October?

Although we are happy for Kurt and Debby, we shall miss them immensely. Being with family you love is one of the most important things in life.
Gary and I met Kurt almost a year ago at the Lion’s Fall Fair in Shasta Fairgrounds. A day that has forever changed our lives.
If you had told us 2 years ago that we would be visiting schools more in one year than we had in the last 30, I would not have believed it.
Before arriving to Shasta County we had considered for the remaining years, if possible to try to make a difference in some way, not sure as to how or where.
Six Months For This Site
written by Mary Stephenson
How time flies!
If anybody has thought about, been counting or maybe even wondering, the site has been up for six months. Home page was first published on March 30, 2016. It has changed and will constantly change.
This is post 24. Last week due to under the hood techie issues we felt it was better not to post anything. Minimal changes were made.
Today was the Turtle Bay Run. Cooler was nice, but I am sure the rain was not appreciated. Would have been nice if it had held off until later in the day. Continue reading
A Lesson in Asking
Written by Mary Stephenson
Being once again frustrated by my “stupid” computer. Fondly called that only when it doesn’t cooperate!
It produces this little blue circle that goes round and round with the mouse freezing. (Hey, that would have been a fun sentence 40 years ago, leaving people with “What?”)
So back to the issue. Up would pop the box with the options of “continue” or “stop plug-in”. It didn’t matter what I chose it wouldn’t fix the situation. It would just keep popping up.
Turning off the computer sometimes helped. Some of the time it would go along smoothly for a few days and then back to the same problem. Continue reading
Vision Screening at Juniper
Written by Mary Stephenson
Vision screening at Juniper on September 7th. We all looked pretty cool with our new Lion shirts. I for one, was much more comfortable and enjoyed the fit. I also believe it was less intimidating for the kids than the yellow vests. We just may blend in a little better with the blue shirts. More normal to what the kids would actually see in their world.
One of the classes we had were all 3 years old. That brought a lot of smiles. Some were brave and jumped on to the chair grinning from ear to ear. They were informed there was going to be a picture taken of their eyes. Hey, picture means you need to smile! Others were not so anxious about the whole process.
