Hello Fellow Lions:

Well Spring has sprung, or has it?

I know we are all anxious and ready to see warmer weather, so to get your mind off of the rain; I will remind you about the State Convention which is May 3rd and 4th 2013.  The State Convention will be at the Double Tree Inn, Murfreesboro, TN.  Don’t forget to send in your registration.  There are some Constitution and By-Laws that we need to vote on and your vote as a Delegate does count.  I also have some surprise awards to pass out.  I am so excited!  The two awards I speak of are from LCI.  You will have to attend to see who will receive them.  See you in Murfreesboro.

Just some friendly reminders, when you have your club elections don’t forget to complete your PU101 either on the LCI website, email or mail to me.  We are in the process of gathering new officer information for the directory.  The deadline for this information is the end of April.  We are having new club officer training Saturday, April 27 at LVBI starting at 9:00 a.m. with a light continental breakfast,  and then again Thursday, May 23 at Powell Presbyterian Church starting at 6:00 p.m. with a light dinner.   Please let Lion Nancy Hall or myself know if you plan on attending so we can have enough printed material for everyone and of course food.

Day with the Lions is coming soon.  It is Saturday, May 18^th from 9 to 2 at Tennessee School for the Deaf, and helps raise funds for our White Cane agencies.  There will be a car show, games for children, Walk for Sight, music, food, beverages, cake walk and the all important dunking booth.  The booth will have some special people lined up and ready to be dunked, including  me!  It will cost you though, I don’t come cheap.  Hahaha.  Come and spend the day with other Lions, bring your neighbors, friends, coworkers and have a great time.

See you soon!

Thank you for all you do.
