Every member who attended the Christmas party Tuesday night at the Imperial Dinner Theater in Pocahontas said it was really enjoyable, the food was good and the Wizard of Oz show was great. The best ladies night our club has had recently. Thanks to Lion Ken Helman for arranging the event. We had 48 members and guests in attendance.

Next Tuesday our program will be Brother Bruce Tippit, Pastor of the First Baptist Church bringing his annual Christmas message to our club.

The club will meet on December 28, the Program Committee will advise next week who will be our speaker.

We still have two or more cases of pecans to sell, mostly chocolate covered. Lets wrap up this project before the year ends. Contact Lion Bill Dickens for pecan sales.

The Board of Directors met Thursday morning at Couch’s Restaurant. The Treasurer’s report gave a bank balance of $7,938.96 with $5,653.04 in the Activity Fund and $2,285.92 in the Operating Fund. It was discussed to have a White Cane Day on Friday and Saturday, February 4^th and 5^th. This will be referred to the club at our next business meeting. Wal-Mart has imposed certain restrictions as to the hours we can collect and locations of the solicitors. In order to meet our budget for White Cane it has been suggested we have three collections per year.

Best Wishes for a Joyous Holiday Season and a Happy New Year!
