Lion Bill Levins (#39) won the Tail Twister’s pot on the first drawing.

Guests this week were Lion Jim Gunter, Past District Governor from Hope Lions Club and Payton Glisson, guest of his father, Lion Gary Glisson. Our attendance was 26 members plus 3 guests.

Continue to pray for Lion Mark Poe’s father who had heart surgery last week and is still hospitalized at St. Bernard’s.

Lion Brad Baker advises we are still needing items and sponsors for our TV Auction which is now only 4 weeks away. Board sponsorships (one fifteen minute segment) are $100 and Event Sponsorships (all day) are $500. This is free money, so sell, sell, sell those sponsorships. We have a suggestion list of auction items and an introductory letter to the merchants, plus posters you can give when asking for a donation. Get these materials next Tuesday. Also, give the merchant a Mid-South Lions Auction Donor Receipt when you receive an item for auction from the merchant. Let’s all get behind this project and have a successful auction.

Our program this week was presented by Mrs. Maryce Cunningham, representing Cox Communications. Mrs. Cunningham talked about all the services Cox Communications can provide for video with over 200 cable channels and high speed internet access service.

Lion Ron Erwin has the following programs scheduled for October:

October 12 - Studio for the Arts, Pocahontas - Michael Nelson and Andee Evers

October 19 - Jonesboro Public Schools - Marilyn Copeland

October 26 - Future Business Leaders of America - Bobby Timmerman and Ron Erwin

Remember to display the flags next Monday, October 11^th for Columbus Day. Also a good time to sell a flag contract on your route.

Our monthly Board of Directors meeting will be Thursday, October 14 at Couch’s Barbeque at 6:30 AM. All board members are urged to attend and any other member as well.
