The Tail Twister’s pot was won by the Tail Twister Lion Brad Baker (#50). Is this legal?

Guests this week were Mr. Greg Chance with KASU and Mr. Gary Clark, son of our speaker and video operator for his program.

Attendance was a little better with 27 members and three guests in attendance.

Lion David Redmon received his 9 year 100% Attendance Award and Lion Mark Poe received his 19 year 100% Attendance Award.

Our program this week was brought by Lt. Col. Retired Charles S. (Spud) Clark, who was a B-24 Liberator pilot, during World War II. Spud talked about the missions he flew over Europe and his war experiences while serving in the 8^th Army Air Force, 446^th Bomber Group, 705^th Squadron. Spud flew in excess of 30 missions. Prior to joining the Army Air Force, Spud served in the Aleutian Islands with the 206^th Coast Artillery.

Next week our program will feature the local high school football coaches:

Jim Devazier Jonesboro High School

Donnie Tennison Nettleton High School

Brian Harris Westside High School

We are having some good programs and the breakfast has improved. Bring a guest or prospective member next Tuesday.

Our next Board of Directors meeting will be Thursday, August 5, at the Cracker Barrel Restaurant at 6:30 A.M.
