PRESENT:
Lion Jim McKown
Lions Gary and Cindy Bottomley
Lion Tim Hyatt
Lion Kathleen Polidoro
Our meeting was called to order at 6:30
pm by Lion President Jim. He did the
invocation and Lion Cynthia led us in
the Pledge of Allegiance. Lion Jim
turned the program over to Lion Tim for
his tail twister duties. We were not able
to answer any of Tim's questions today.
We then proceeded to enjoy our meal.
We discussed the 32D Convention and
how everyone enjoyed the weekend and
how well run it was and how nice the
Hilton Garden Inn was for the
Convention.
We then reviewed some of the
Applications for Aid for eyeglasses and
exams.
One of the applicants, who has been
approved by South Carolina Lions for
eye surgery, needs another $40 to be sent
to Rock Hill Eye Clinic. That will be a
total of approximately $400 that Rock
Hill Lions will contribute toward this
applicant for pre-op, post-op exams and
medications.
Lion Gary reminded all to remember to
turn in your volunteer hours to be
included in our Activity Report to LCI.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:35 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Cynthia Bottomley
Lions - The World's Largest
Service Club Organization
Our 46,000 clubs and 1.35 million members
in 209 countries and geographic areas make
us the world's largest service club
organization. We're also one of the most
effective. Our members do whatever is
needed to help their local communities.
Everywhere we work, we make friends,
with children who need eyeglasses, with
seniors who don't have enough to eat and
with people we may never meet.
