President's Corner

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.  Since this is my last President's corner, I would like to thank everyone for their support and helpfulness, it was quite a learning experience.  There have been a lot of highs and lows this past year in the club, and  it's  important to note that  we've always got the job done.  We have a Lion's club our community can be proud of.  I will see everyone at the Installation of Officers and Awards banquet.  Let's all give our support to our incoming president, Jim Humphrey!
