A NEW ATTENDANCE RECORD WAS SET TODAY WHEN TWENTY FOUR (24) NORTH PARK LIONS PROUDLY GAVE A RESOUNDING RENDITION OF "IT'S A GRAND OLD FLAG".
MANY WERE CAUGHT OFF GUARD TODAY, WHEN OUR "MYSTERY GREETER" WAS ONE OF OUR NEWEST LIONS, KAREN LENYOUN. SO, ON TO THE FUN PART OF THE MEETING. LION DR. JIM KNOTT BROUGHT US UP TO DATE ON HIS SPORTING (? ) ADVENTURES, TOO NUMEROUS TO GO INTO, FOLLOWED BY SOME WILD AND SOMEWHAT WEIRD DISSERTATIONS FROM SOME OF THE OTHER LIONS.
STARTING THIS WEEK, WE HAVE A NEW ITEM TO OUR MEETINGS. ASKING A LION EACH WEEK TO ANSWER "WHY AM I A LION?" THIS WEEK, LION HAL THOMAS GAVE US HIS REASONS. Feel free to comment below and tell us why you're a Lion.
UPDATE FROM FINLAND. LION KIM GAVE US SOME BRAGGING ON HER SOCCER CHAMP DAUGHTER, PASSING AROUND CLIPS OF A FINLAND PAPER WITH HER DAUGHTER'S PHOTO PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED. WAY TO GO, KIM!!!
