Your weekly dose of Roars, Recaps & Reminders!
 
Lions, did you know giving blood burns about 650 calories?  “So technically…we hosted a cardio event AND saved lives. Multitasking at its finest.”
 
ROAR STOPPER ALERT!  A HUGE THANK YOU! To everyone who donated at last week’s Blood Drive…your generosity saved 75 lives! That’s more impactful than any group text we ignored last week. Truly-you all showed up, rolled up sleeves, and made a difference.
 
LOCATION CHANGE: Don’t Get Lost! This Wednesday’s meeting is NOT at the Lonestar Convention Centerwe’ll be just down the road at the Exhibit Hall-Montgomery County Fairgrounds. There’ll be signs… there’ll be Lions…and if history repeats itself, there’ll be Ricky pulling into the convention center parking lot, confused, suspicious, and already halfway through his coffee. Let’s all pretend we don’t see him make the U-turn. Again.

THIS WEEK’S PROGRAM: Unleash Your Leadership Heart
Get ready for Chad Patterson - coach, motivator, and professional level-upper. He’ll be sharing ways to lead with purpose, passion, and maybe even a quote you'll slap on your mirror!
 
The Hannahgram: Week 5 and Still Standing
Shoutout to everyone showing up, stepping up, and hauling supplies like champions. You’ve turned blood drives, bulletin boards, and location changes into effortless magic. Thanks for letting me serve with sparkle, sass, and the occasional reminder not to show up at the wrong building. 
See you Wednesday (somewhere near the livestock bldg…IYKYK).
 
With Lion Love,
