Tuesday - July 6, 2004

Lion Bryan Ulmer (#56) was absent and ye olde bulletin editor won the pot on the second drawing.

Thanks to all those Lions who worked flag routes last Monday. Lion Mark Poe advises we were short of flags Monday, so if you know of any of our flags that are not in our flag barn, please return them before our next flag day.

Attention all golfers: On Saturday, July 31^st, there will be a golf tournament at the Links with all proceeds going to our Dyeann’s House. Cost of the Robert Dock Memorial tournament will be $80.00 for 18 holes including cart and dinner. See Lion Ken Helman if you wish to participate.

Our next board of directors meeting will be Thursday, July 15 at 6:30 AM at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant. This will be the first meeting of the new board of directors under our new president Lion Eric Grant. All board members need to attend, plus any other member who may need a make-up meeting.

Our attendance the past four weeks has been really lacking. This past Tuesday, we only had 19 members and no guests present. Let’s make a special effort to attend meetings regularly and invite guests. We had 4 members attending the International Convention in Detroit.

Lion Bill Dickens was our program this week. Lion Bill talked about his business, The Cache Beauty Supply Co. Lion Bill told how he and his brother, Joe, changed the way their business operated through the internet. The business has been in operation since 1964. Bill and Joe bought the business in 1975. They went on the Internet in 1993 and developed their first web site in 1996. They have expanded their business tremendously since 1993. They currently sell to customers all over the world, shipping out more than 300 orders per week. Their web site is www.cachebeauty.com , selling over 8000 items.

Lion Bobby Wood has the following programs scheduled for July:

July 13 Drs. William McLean and Patrick Stewart, ASU Political Science Dept

July 20 Charlie Beliew, Social Security Administration

July 27 Charles S. (Spud) Clark, World War II veteran (B-24 pilot)

We have some good programs lined up. Invite a prospective member as your guest next week.
