We celebrated Veteran's Day and the Marine Corps Birthday.

This cake was almost too beautiful to eat.
Pictured here are the St. Joseph Lions who served in the armed forces. We thank them all for their service.
The cutting of the cake. As tradition goes, the oldest Marine and Youngest Marine get to cut the cake and get the first two slices. Here Lion Wags(the oldest) and Lion Al(the youngest) cut the cake.
All the Lions had their cake and ate it too.

Lion Vern reviewed the successful Arts & Carft Show. It was a great day, the weather was cold but it didn't rain or snow. Over 100 crafters and over 2000 customers were in attendance. The reviews from both crafters and cusomers were extremely positive.

Lion Vern, co-chair,  went over the days activities and had the caftshow cl commitee members give their reports.
As you can see, the Lions are interested in the reults and go over the initial reports of the show.
Since Lion Vern worked so hard on the Craft Sg=how, we let him draw for the Pot'o Silver today. Maybe he would bring good luck to someone because the pot has not been won in many weeks.
Oh No! another non-winner. It pays to attend our weekly meetings.
Lion Prez tries to giev a very weak excuse why he may have to leave the meeting early in order to avoid a fine.
Our observance of Veteran's Day and the Marine Corps Birthday.
