Lions, did you know sharks existed before trees? “Which is still somehow younger than Jake’s dad jokes…”
ROAR STOPPER ALERT! Brought to you by someone who technically did not go over time… except for the part where I did. #BlameTheClicker
Lion Tracy crushed her P&S presentation last week…nailed the 10-minute mark like a pro. Me? Not so much. My laptop had a full-blown midlife crisis, but we powered through and still looked fabulous. Thanks to everyone who showed up and helped us hold onto those bragging rights!
KIDS ON THE LAKE: Reel Fun Ahead

Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Location: Owen Park (by the old Westside Rec Center/YMCA)

HOMETOWN MILITARY HERO: Find a Hero, Be a Hero
We’re searching for a locally active-duty military hero to honor this year. Think: someone who’s currently serving in any U.S. military branch, and lives around here. Nominate your cousin, your neighbor, or that quiet guy at the gym who could probably bench-press a tank.
CNLC Eyeglass Recycling Center is throwing a very official Lions party… translation: tours, training, tacos (probably), and good company. It’s perfect if you can’t make weekday volunteering but still want to get your eyeball karma in check.
Date: Thursday, September 25
Time: 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Location: CNLC Eyeglass Center
Come hungry. Come curious. No sign-up needed.

The Hannahgram: One Part Planner, Two Parts Disaster, 100% Lion
I tried to have a calm morning with coffee and club emails... then spilled said coffee on said emails. Now my to-do list smells like hazelnut and regret. But hey… if caffeine-fueled chaos isn’t peak Lion energy, I don’t know what is.
