FROM BEHIND THE GAVEL

sp
Hello Lions-
 
What a month this has been!  Midwinter was very good with the Speakers.  They were
wonderful and left many people in tears.  There were some problems with the convention
but over all it was a very good experience.  I was nice to only drive two miles at Midnight
in 10 below weather.  If you have not heard yet&..!!!!  Thanks to Lion Julie and Lion
Ginny and myself supervising, we won the Chili Cook off!!!!  The secret was drinking
wine!!    So when you ladies are cooking for the bread bowl supper make sure you are
drinking wine!!!   I went to the Sunset meeting last week.  That was very interesting and
informative.  I will let you know some things at our next meeting. Nancy Brown did not
make it so we didn’t get a picture taken.  We will try again when the machine comes in.
 
I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  Have a good time at the Bread Bowl
supper!  I will see you on the 26th!
 
Yours in Lionism,
 
President Tracy Braaten
