Our Tail Twister Lion Brad Baker drew his own number 50 and took the Tail Twister’s pot. Lion Bobby Wood said it reminded him of a rigged Republican election.

Our only guest was Robbie Redmon, nephew of Lion David Redmon. Our attendance was 22 members and 1 guest.

In the absence of our secretary Lion Brad Baker read the minutes of the February 10^th Board of Directors meeting.

Lion Treasurer Vern Drake gave the financial report which showed a bank balance of $8,343.73 with $7,244.69 in the Activity Fund and $1,099.04 in the Operating Fund. Lion Vern advised the club that unless some members get current with their dues account the club’s Operating Fund balance will be in the red by next month.

The Board of Directors made a ruling that any member requesting to be placed on member at large status must have their dues current and pay $30.00 in advance to go on member at large status. Their member at large status is to be reviewed by the board at the end of six months.

Thanks to the Liberty Bank for the second payment of $1,000 on their pledge of $5,000 to Dyeann’s House. The finances for Dyeann’s House is going great. We are looking for a permanent house mother if you know of a lady that could fill this position advise Lion Ken Helman.

We are only a month away from the Car Show and sponsors and ads need to be sold this week. Door prizes and goody bag items also need to be collected. Next week Lion Vern will have the advanced tickets to sell. Sign up for the number of tickets you will need to sell. The next meeting of the Car Show Committee will be March 1^st and will meet every Tuesday thereafter.

Recycle those print cartridges and cell phones. The club has taken on this recycling project and will make approximately $1.25 for each cartridge. Turn them into Lions Charles Hartwig or Ed Larson.

Monday, February 21^st is a flag day for Presidents Day. Lion Mark Poe reminds us to only take the number of flags needed to run your route. Check the up to date lists in the barn for the correct number of flags on your route.

Our program next week will be Mr. Brian Wadley, Administrative Assistant for the Mayor of Jonesboro.
