FROM BEHIND THE GAVEL

Hello all-
We had a really good Zone dinner.  If anyone has a good joke, let me know.
I am going to try and start with a joke next time! I am seriously
considering going to Chicago next July for the Nation Convention.  It will
be over my birthday but it might be fun.  Is anyone else considering going?
They have a 5 day trip and a 2 day trip. Let me know!!!  We have White Cane
days coming up!  It's this Saturday.  Let's PRAY for some sun!  MN Eye Bank
DID NOT GET OUR POSTCARD!! But I did sign us up for Next Fall.  10 people.
Please plan for that next year.  I tried for this spring but it was full
already. Also, on October 28th we are invited to two things... Thanksgiving
for Vision in Brooklyn Center and District Leadership Form in Rochester. We
will have to talk about that at our next meeting. Please bring your
calendars next meeting!! :-)  :-)
See you at White Cane Days!!!!

Yours in Lionism,  Pres. Tracy Braaten
