Tuesday - September 7, 2004

 

Lions Roger Roush (#23), Ed Larson (#46), Scott Rennels (#43), Brad Carson (#44) were all absent and Lion Gary Glisson (#9) was the lucky winner of the Tail Twister’s pot this week.

Guests this week were Payton Glisson, a guest of his father Lion Gary Glisson and Rodney Muse, guest of Lion Dave Redmon and Greg Chance with KASU. Our attendance was 25 members and 4 guests.

Our program was given by Joanne Woodward, RN, BSN Joint Coordinator at St. Bernard's Medical Center. Total Joint Camp is a comprehensive education and rehabilitation program for patients undergoing total joint replacement surgery at St. Bernards. This unique program incorporates a team approach to treatment following a patient from the time he or she elects to undergo surgery all the way through rehabilitation.

Thanks to those members who worked flag routes this past Monday for Labor Day. Our next flag day will be Monday, October 11 for Columbus Day. Sign up a new flag contract on your route.

We need workers for White Cane Days on September 23 & 24. Sign up next week to work one or more shifts. Our goal is $2,000.
