The following members were absent this week:  Ed Foster (#37), James Hall (#19), Rush Nash (#55), Roger Roush (#23) and Lion Secretary Brad Carson won the pot

with  the fifth drawing.  There were 29 members in attendance.

 

Guests this week were Rickey Jackson, a guest of Lion Ron Irvin, and Past District

Governor Lion Jim Gunter from the Hope, Arkansas Lions Club.  Lion Jim is presently a candidate for the Arkansas Supreme Court.

 

It was good to see Lion Vern Drake back with us after having his surgery.

 

Our condolences go to the family of Lion Claud Cash who passed away Monday

evening at UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock.  Lion Claud has been sick for several months and he will be missed.  He was a faithful member of our club and the

Trumann Lions Club for several years.

 

This was our monthly business meeting with the secretary reading the minutes of

The March 4 board of directors meeting and the treasurer giving the club

Financial report.  The bank balance  as of February 29 was $10,163.12 with

$1,719.12 in the Operating Fund and $8,444.25 in the Activity Fund.

 

Car Show Chairman Lion Brad Baker discussed the upcoming car show and

Each committee chairman giving reports pertaining to their assignments.  Lion

Ed Larson is needing 3 or 4 more ticket takers working Saturday and Sunday.

The goody bags will be stuffed next Tuesday at 7:00 pm at Roller Farmers Union

Funeral Home.  We need more goody bag items and door prizes.  Bring them

To Brad Carson at the funeral home.  As of today we have 90 cars  pre-registered

And more coming in the everyday.  This year we will have two activities at the car

Show for children – a remote control car track and a paint ball booth.  Our car show committee has done a great job in planning this show this year.
