Hello Ladies-Hello Ladies-

Nine of us went up to the cities for the Lions eye bank tour.  Wow, was that something.  It is so nice to hear
people tell you thank you!  I wish I worked there.  Its nice to hear that!  What a building.  I think that
every member should go on a tour some time during their membership.  It really is what we are about.
Those of us who went owe the club $16.60.

Lion Juile said to remind everyone that she will have the jewelry display set up at 6 so people can look
before the meeting and that there will be time after.

Please encourage everyone to be there to get their packet and that I will be giving a short talk about the
jewelry and a jewelry fashion demonstration.

This is an easy fund-raiser and can be VERY successful with everyone's participation.

Enjoy the sunshine and the warmth!

See you on the 28th!
Yours in Lionism,
President Tracy Braaten
