Wow!  Next time you are trying to recruit a new member, mention how busy we are! Certainly not just ‘mature’ men in vests, walking in parades!!

SGL Lions, please remember:

• Bring one guest a month.
• We need speakers so keep your eyes and ears open for ideas at all times.
• If you notice a member missing meetings, please call and tell them they

are being missed.
