September Days and a Tour
Written by Mary Stephenson 9-13-2019
The crazy week started on Friday, 9-6. When you are retired weeks can begin almost any day. Thursday always feels like a Friday and then I have to look at the computer to figure out what day it really is.
At 9:00 AM, 6 of us showed up to have a meeting with the new principal of Sycamore School. We had a little pronunciation lesson of Angie’s last name, Biancalana. I think it will take me a while to figure out that one.
We talked about what the Lions have done in the past at Sycamore. Continue reading
Anyone Inspired?

For our July 25th meeting we had a visitation from our new District Governor Elisa Coyle and company. With their presentations to our club, I believe we need to look at membership in different terms.
We all have our pet projects and they are worthwhile in every aspect of our endeavors. It becomes, how can we plug in others where we have managed without them. Are they the kinds of projects that would interest younger folks? What would members of the community embrace and give us their all, if they were included?
The First Week of June

Doyle Fry our new president for 2019-2020
With the weird weather of the prior weekend we enjoyed the blue sky and no fear of being battered by hailstones.
It began with the Installation Party on June 2nd, for the new club officers, with Doyle Fry taking the leap into leadership. Wishing him all the best for the year ahead.
A fun party, and I think everybody enjoyed the food. Nice to get together with people we haven’t seen in a while. Loved the entertainment, “Off the Charts” did a great job.
We were honored to have Preston Sharp, his mother, and grandmother at our event. History with Preston Sharp goes back to when Jim Reimer first noticed Preston on the news.

Lion’s Booth
We braved the early morning hours to set-up a vendor booth for the Billy and Patrick’s Annual Big Sale on May 5, 2019.
Arriving before 6 AM… wow we don’t even do that for our early morning meetings. But, we were there with bells on eager to make some money for our charity.
Sold stuff before opening hour of 7. Good start to the day and I think we did pretty good of getting rid of most everything we had.
The American Patriot
Rob Burroughs, director of Northern California Veterans Museum & Homeward Bound Program for Military Families, spoke to us for an hour. He talked about his family in the military, his father, grandfather. And how soldiers stayed and fought in WW1 and WW2 until it was over. But after those wars things became different.
