Next dinner meeting will be Thursday July 10th at the Pearisburg Community Center. At this meeting we will be inducting our new Board of Officers. Lion District Governor Bud Chambless will conduct the ceremony.

Former Pearisburg Lion Joe Collida, now a Lion in Dallas, Texas, attended out membership meeting. It was good seeing Lion Joe again.

Lion Fred Reported that we netted between $900 and $1000. dollars from our participation in the Festival in the Park. Hamburgers and Hot Dogs did really well but we should cut back on the BBQ for next year.

Membership continues to be key issue for our club. Remember, we have a Membership incentive program. For every new member brought into the club, that member will receive either; one quarter free dues or $70.00 of merchandise from the Lions Catalog.

The Fall Conference will be held in Roanoke on October 17 and 18 at the Tanglewood Holiday Inn.

And once again a story for your amusement.

A husband and wife came for counseling after 20 years of marriage.

When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they ever had in the 20 years they had been married. She went on and on and on; neglect, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable and a laundry list of unmet needs she had endured over the course of their marriage.

Finally, after allowing this to go on for some time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, embraced and kissed her passionately as her husband watched with a raised eyebrow. The women shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze.

The therapist turned to the husband and said, ‘This is what your wife needs at least 3 times a week, can you do this?’

The husband thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I play golf.’

Now that’s a serious golfer!!!!!

Let’s keep in our prayers those Lions that are sick and injured.

Also, all our servicemen and women and their families. May they stay safe.

Lion Secretary Al
