Old Business: Lion Love gave a report of the District 9SE Convention he had attended mid-morning and lunch April 15 at the First Methodist Church in Mt. Pleasant. It was mentioned that host families are needed for exchange students. Community members, as well as churches, clubs may sponsor students, not just Lions Clubs. There were raffles and other games to participate in. Lion Nancy Love won the chance to put a pie in the face of L.C.I.F. Coordinator Paul Hain.
The Peace Poster winner from the 9SE District was from Columbus Jct.
International Director Debbie Cantrill from Missouri gave a very interesting account of her life as she'd faced many difficult situations and meeting her husband, Kevin, who was a Lion and becoming a Lion herself has helped her to overcome many adversities and gain confidence and succeed in many aspects of her life.
New Business: Help isn't needed at the cemetery this year. Serving lunch at Fun Days in July was mentioned, with further information to come as the time draws closer. There will be an Omelet Breakfast at the Main Lodge at Camp Courageous at Monticello on April 27 from 8-12.
This will also include an open house.
Since there was no further business, President Davis adjourned the meeting.
