Saturday night we Celebrated the FIRST Lions Club to be Chartered in 25-E2, for 2010.  THE GEORGETOWN LIONS CLUB.
     There were 40 members and officers installed.  The ceremony took place at the Georgetown Christian Church, McClain Family Life Center. A beautiful facility.
     A delicious (really) dinner was served; The Key Family of Paoli provided entertainment; and, of course there was the AUCTION!  Many nice items had been collected by the Georgetown Lions Club members, and as usual, Lions from other clubs brought items to sell.  If you see  DG Steve Porenski, or Lion President Jim Galbreath, be sure to ask them how much $$ it cost them to get their license plate back.  Also, ask PDG Herb Stevens what it cost to get his car keys back. 
     Have you ever bought a raisin pie that cost $45.00?  Since Lion Doris Bliss of the New Middletown Lions Club baked it, I'm sure it was delicious.  You can ask Lion Sonny Eve how it tasted.
     PDG Charlie Crawford brought one of his handmade ink pens for auction.  The shaft was made out of a 75 year old tobacco stick.  Lion Brian Hawkins of the Paoli-Meridian Lions Club bought the pen for $60.00.  How does it write, Brian? 
     Lions Betty Cole and her sister, Helen, from the Central Lions Club had crochet 50 multi-colored Lion heads to pin on your shirt, jacket, etc.  They sold all 50 at $2.00 each and donated the $100.00 sale to the Georgetown Lions Club.
     Tail Twisters were Reg. Chair. Liz Funk, Lion Fred Wattula (Crandall Lions Club) and Lion Kathy Haller of the Georgetown Lions Club.  They were tough, but raised $$ for the new club.
     PDG Mark Clark was the speaker and the auctioneer!  Who but a lawyer can talk so long?  HA HA (Sincerely, PDG Mark did a wonderful job as speaker and auctioneer.) 
PDG Herb Stevens was MC and did his usual terrific job, as did a number of other behind-the-scene Lions.
      Zone Chair, Elmer Kidd and Lion Chloe Kidd will be Guiding Lions 2 years for this new club. Great things are expected from the Georgetown Lions Club.  They are a FUN group and will have a good time serving their Community. 

Remember the Lions Motto
WE SERVE
