Hello Lions!
 
I want to give a BIG shout out to my Assistant Secretary, Andrew Perry, who covered for me while I was out getting my rotator cuff reattached.  He did an amazing job – to the point of making me look really bad!  Thank you Andrew!! 🥰
 
Let’s give a huge THANK YOU to our Reaves Elementary volunteers that took time out of their busy day to read to some amazing kids.  I heard a great story from one of the Lions readers who said she got the best hugs from her group of first graders.  She said it was a really special experience and she’ll be doing it again; I may even go with her next time. 🤗
 
We are running out of time to get our Hometown Military Hero applications in. Please make sure to have all applications turned in to Vicki no later than  September 30th. That's this week! Get the application here. 🛦

College Tuition for a State University is close to $27,000 a year (trust me I know this); and our local seniors need help paying for tuition.  If you know of a senior student at Conroe High School, have them visit the College & Career Center and fill out an application for one of our Youth Scholarship Contest and a chance to win part of $12,000 in scholarship money.💰
 
Our Program this week will be our “Official Annual Visit” from our District Governor, Neil Lander from Humble Noon Lions Club. Come hear him ROAR!🦁
 
Have a great last week of September! Hopefully we're looking forward to cooler weather and maybe a little rain.😊
