Several Lions commented on the photo’s taken by Lion Mary Brooding and how she sent them directly to a member of the foursome to be distributed to other members of the foursome which everyone thought was fantastic, great job Lion Mary. Everyone commented on the LED sign and thought it was great and it only used about one third of the battery power thanks to Lion Steve for getting the heavy duty marine battery.
