Good Morning Lions!
 
     🎓 Congratulations to our Diabetic Essay Contest winners who did an amazing job!  Thank you Kim Perry for making this happen for these wonderful kids.  I know their parents and guests were so proud to hear them speak so eloquently. 
 
     👓 We have our final Pre-School Vision Screening next Thursday, November 16th.  We’ll be at Children's Universe on 105W, don't miss out - sign up here.
 
     🥳 Let’s get ready to party!  Our membership committee wants you to join in the fun at our, 'Conroe Noon at NIGHT'  membership mixer.  The committee is providing the Hors oeuvres, as we are a fancy little crew, but drinks are on you!  The Table at Madeley is the place to be THIS, Thursday evening, Nov. 9th from 5-7pm.  Grab your partner and come enjoy getting to know our fellow Lions in a more casual atmosphere.
       
      👞We've also kicked off our Fall Membership Drive to run the month of November. It's titled 'Who will fill their shoes?' Taking examples of past club monarchs, members are encouraged to bring prospective new members with service and leadership qualities who will become good Lions.  So, bring a guest to lunch or the mixer and let's fill some shoes!
 
      🛠 If you have never participated in a Service Saturday, this is the one you will want to take part in on Saturday, November 18th from 8-Noon.  We will be working with ‘Sleep in Heavenly Peace’, assembling and delivering new beds to some kids who have never slept in a new bed before.  The look on these kids’ faces when they realize the bed is theirs to keep forever is worth every minute of your time. Click here to sign up.
