| El PASO Downtown Lions Club |
| Volume: 69 Issue: 32 Editor: IPP Kelly Wiseman Date: 02/3/12 To the roar of clanking glasses and dishes, 1st VP Denny gonged us into session at 12:17pm. He then led us in our invocation. That was quickly followed by Lion Vic leading us in the Pledge. It was then PP Dick Schwein’s turn to lead us in God Bless America and The Lion’s Roar! Health and Welfare : Lion Richard was unaware of any ailing Lions at the moment. Please let him know if someone needs special attention. However, please keep in your thoughts and prayers the family of PDG Leroy Hufford who passed away this week. Announcements : Lion Sandy announced the Valentine’s Luncheon next week which will be held at the church in the big room with the stage. We will be entertained by two opera singers from the El Paso Youth Opera. If you have not signed up with your special honey, please contact Lion Sandy or Lion Susan. The meal will be from Olive Garden. Lion Efren announced they had sent more glasses to Midland last week bringing our yearly total to 2,812! Way to go Lions! PDG Jim will be on TV this weekend. Also, PP Rick Kern’s daughter will have one of her songs played during the Super Bowl this Sunday! And while I didn’t announce this at the meeting, I will remind everyone reading this that we will be having our annual election committee meeting at the end of this month with all of the Past Presidents. If you are interested, or you know someone who is, in running for office, please contact me or another Past President. It is an honor to serve on the Board of Directors of such a distinguished Club! Program : Our speaker today was Lud Bezemek from the Hugh O’ Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) program. Lud serves in various civic organizations, but he showed a real passion for this one. He explained the beginning of the program in 1958 when O’Brian met with Albert Schweitzer in Africa where he was given the idea for the program by one sentence: “Teach how to think and not what to think.” Now, it is a leading leadership course in the country. At least two of our members have had children graduate. The program recruits sophomores and costs $325 per student. Currently, the seminar is being held at EPCC. Ninety- nine percent of the students continue to college with many Ivey League University’s granting immediate acceptance upon learning of the student’s attendance to HOBY. It was a fascinating program and I look forward to Lions helping the wonderful organization. For more information you may go to www.hoby.org. Drawing : This week’s raffle winners were: Lion Mac Snodgrass; PDG Jim Peak; 2nd VP David Abernathy; PP Dick Schwein; and UTEP Lion Lil Mayberry. |
