APRIL MEMBERSHIP MONTH
How do we grow?  Our April meeting will be a potluck.  Please try to invite at
least one person to attend our April guest potluck meeting.  It will not be a recruit
type meeting where we will fill our guests heads with
lots of facts and figures.  We will give them an overview of Lions and an
opportunity for them to see what they can help accomplish through Lionism.
 
There will be a potluck sign-up at our March meeting so that we can have a
variety of food.  You don't need to decide exactly what you will bring, only what
food group you would like to bring.
 
Let's all try realllllllllllllllllly hard to invite at least one person to our April meeting.
