I know the church was a little short on volunteers that weekend so it was a big help to have the Gagewood Lions there. As discussed last month, the District 1F Convention is right around the corner on March 6th, and we will be co-hosting a Hospitality Room with the Elk Grove Village Lions. Lion Carroll has already ordered the decorations for the room. Even though she will not be at the convention, thanks to Lion Carroll for organizing the details and to Lion Pat and Lion Linda for taking on the set-up and decorating tasks. The theme this year is Hawaiian. So get out your favorite Hawaiian shirt (no coconut bras) and show your support for Lion Marty as he is voted in as District 1F Governor for 2015-2016. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you at the meeting Monday night. 2 year Directors: Lion Lee Piekarz Lion Donna Radke Lion Jim O Keefe Past President: Lion Mary Reading Webmaster: Lion Ray Salata Lion Troy Smith President Newsletter Editor: Lion Linda Salata Lifetime: Lion John McCann
