DISTRICT 14-T, HOME OF TRICK OR TREAT HOSPITALITY

THANKS to all who attended, participated, helped, planned, donated baskets, etc to the October 29-31 State Council Meeting. We were perfect hosts with plenty of treats and few tricks the Halloween Weekend. Friday Night's Hospitality was a Monster Mash with Count Dracula, Phantom of the Opera, witches, Frankenstein, Wilma and Fred, to name a few, in attendance. The band "Just Friends" were fantastic. Sonny and Cher provided entertainment during their break. Saturday was filled with Committee Meetings and informative sessions. At the State Council Meeting, Saturday afternoon, I presented to Lion Marcia, State Administrator, an 18 x 24 framed collage representing our District. It included a photo of the statue of James Buchanan, located in Mercersburg (Franklin County); state capitol building, Harrisburg (Dauphin County); Shoaff's Mill, located in Little Buffalo State Park (Perry County); and covered bridge (Juniata County). In the middle was the front cover of our KidSight Vision and Hearing Brochure, our signature project. It will be displayed at the State Office in Harrisburg. District 14-T is well represented at the State Level with many of our Past District Governors providing leadership by serving on State Committees. Lion James won a basket. He took the $50 and I got the picture frame. The Banquet Saturday evening was well attended with Leo Matt, (District E) now Lion Matt, receiving the Leo of the Year Award. ID Jim Cavallaro provided words to consider about increasing membership and service in our communities. I presented him with the Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger's book Highest Duty and , for the bewitching weekend, Haunted Places in PA. Lion Michelle, his wife, received a glass pumpkin jar filled with Hershey candies. To quote her "a bag of Hersheys kisses opened is a bag emptied". All in all, the weekend went well with few mishaps. I received many thanks from various Lions and the fun they had over the weekend. I pass their words of praise to you, who made it all happen.
