Our Club Committee Officers
Lion Tamers are in charge of and responsible for the club’s property. Their job is to make sure that the flags, gong, gavel and badge boards are properly placed, that the standard organization chart is displayed conspicuously at every meeting; and that all materials are properly distributed. They are to assist the past presidents as the official greeters, always welcome all guests and see that places are provided for all.
Tail Twisters shall maintain harmony, and encourage good feelings, life and enthusiasm in the meetings. They shall impose and collect the fines at the meetings (and shall use their best judgment when doing so). Much of the success of the meetings will depend upon their resourcefulness in promoting fellowship, fun and laughter, making the members forget, for a time at least, their business and any worries they may have.
