Tail Twister – Lion Tail Twister Jim G. started the day with having Lion Kent roll the dice for his birthday and he rolled a lucky eight costing him $4.80. Lion Ray Lancon gave a happy dollar for his safe return from his skiing trip. Lion tail twister Jim Gould passed around a photo asking people to take a good look at it and see if they could identify who and what was going on. It turned out to be Lion Ray Gamma and his niece at the last Crab feed, so Lion Jim fined him a dollar.
Crab Feed – Lion Jim G. said the Rotarians had sold 119 tickets for the first seating and 44 for the second seating. Our Lions group has sold 148 tickets for the first seating and 75 for the second seating. Lion Al said there was a discrepancy in the number of tickets sold by the Rotarians and the money he received. Lion Prez Steve said he would send out another reminder on the crab feed after the first of the year. Lion Jim G. said he is working on a sale of forty tickets at this time. Lion Prez said we had approximately $8,000 dollars in donations for the raffle and silent auction at this time. Lion Mike Martin is working on getting the refrigeration truck.
