At the General Meeting on March 6, 2014,
your editor, Lion Sally Carter, won the 50/50
drawing! It was the first time winning for
me! The drawing was for $48.00. Yippee!
It was Foster Rein winning the 50/50 drawing

themselves with this function.

an outstanding job

their hard work.

the action.
The raffle prizes were
plentiful thanks to the
many donations from the membership.
“THANK YOU FROM LION ROBERTA HALCOMB

Thank you to all who “stepped up to the
plate” and helped. Thank you to all that
