Winter is finally upon us, and I hope you’re staying warm out there in these chilly temperatures. But don’t worry…the cold weather isn’t slowing down the Conroe Noon Lions! There are plenty of opportunities to serve this week.
Do Good - Give Blood: Our first blood drive of the year is this Wednesday at the convention center. You can give before, during, or after the meeting. Don’t forget to eat first and grab your free treat when you’re done. If you’re going to club anyway, you might as well SAVE a LIFE while you’re at it.

THIS WEEK’S PROGRAM: Members New & Old (I mean Vintage)
This week’s program is all about our own members. We will be taking time to honor some of our longtime Lions with Life Memberships while also inducting New Members, honoring the past and celebrating where we are going. We are thrilled to have PDG Lisa Free-Martin presiding over the events, who always reminds us of what it means to be a Lion.
The Hannahgram:
Sorry, no Hannahgram this week as she is under the weather, and Lion Morgan Freeman stepped in to help. But we hope everyone made it safely through the winter storm and will be ready to SMILE on Wednesday!
