spurprise-it’s snowing again!
I hope all of you are staying warm!
Midwinter went very well this year.  They changed many things and it went off without a hitch!  We made
blankets with Project Compass.  Helen said NEXT YEAR we should make pillows.  I said yes, IN TWO
YEARS we can!!!!
Please be thinking of officers for next year.  I think it is that time of year again.
Please remember to go to the EAGLES CLUB the night of our meeting.  We will be decorating for the
bread bowl supper.
See you on the 25th!
Yours in Lionism

President Tracy Braaten
