This meeting was our annual ladies night and installation of new officers meeting. Lion Ruby Brogdon (#28) was absent and Lion Tamer Lion Don Vineyard (#18) won the Tail Twister’s pot. There were 26 members and 16 guests in attendance.

Lion President Tommy White made the following awards to outstanding members for their service to our club during the past year: Scott Rennels, Brad Baker, Ken Helman, Gary Glisson and Bryan Ulmer were awarded the Lion of the Quarter Award. Lion Mark Poe was awarded the Lion of the Year Award and Lion Ed Larson was given a Distinguished Service Award for his services as club treasurer for the past two years.

Lion Mark Poe, President of Mid-South Lions Sight and Hearing Services, and Lion Brad Baker, Executive Director of Mid-South Lions Sight and Hearing Services, presented Lions David Redmon and Gary Glisson the Edward Dalstrom Distinguished Service Award.

PID Scott Rennels presented Lion President Tommy White the Melvin Jones Fellowship Award from Lion Clubs International Foundation. This is the highest award that Lions International awards for humanitarian service by an individual. Our club has awarded this prestigious award to 33 individuals since 1988. This represents $33,000 our club has contributed to LCIF. However, in return, LCIF has made a grant to our Dyeann’s House of $75,000.

PID Scott Rennels installed our new officers for 2004-05.
