Your weekly dose of Roars, Recaps & Reminders!
Lions, did you know sorting eyeglasses is basically adult-level Tetris?
“Tag, bag, stack…and somehow there’s always one mystery lens left behind!”
ROAR STOPPER ALERT! A Roar Delayed, But the Level Up is Coming - It was so good to see everyone back last week, even if our official “first roar” from President Tracy had to wait. Huge thanks to First VP Sharene for stepping in so smoothly, and to each of you for showing up with that Lion heart. We’re sending healing vibes to Charlie and crossing all paws that President Tracy will be back this week ready to lead and Level Up to make her official roaring debut!

HOT DOGS OUT, HEALTH QUEEN IN
This week, we’re leveling up our wellness game with Dr. McManus, a functional medicine powerhouse who treats real causes, not just symptoms. She’s been featured everywhere from Great Day Houston to The Michael Berry Show and has even published her own book, Highway to Health. Let’s just say… this week’s program is a lot more nutritious than your post-4th hot dog!
The Hannahgram: Still Sparkly, Slightly More Strategic
Week three and I haven’t run out of puns, sparkle, or Ricky jokes…so we’re doing GREAT! Appreciation to the Lions quietly running the show behind the scenes. We see you. We admire you. We hope you’ve had caffeine.
Now, back to juggling puns, calendars, and my ongoing quest to decode the fax machine.
With Lion Love,
Hannah Medley
