Down time...

What's that, you ask.  I'm trying to figure that out myself.  But I do love keeping busy.
Tuesday evening I offered assistance at the Marysville Carnival.  69 years...pretty amazing.  And it gets better and better every year.  I got to sell raffle tickets for a new car.  Saturday night they will draw 1 ticket and the winner gets his/her choice of either $10,000 cash or $12,500 towards a new car.
I had a blast chatting with visitors and other Lions.  Funny how I'm always introduced as Lion Kathy Fouse's daughter.  LOL!!!  It's not so bad.  I love being associated with my mom.  Her work in Lionism is parallel to none.  I strive to be like her.  I hope she's as proud of me as I am of her.  ZC Steve Copp gave me a mini tour of the Marysville Lions Park.  What an accomplishment and service this club provides to the community.  I am amazed at how beautiful the ballfields and the walkway are.  Marysville Lions, you should be PROUD!!!  After the major setbacks you had to go through this year, your perseverance paid off!!!  GREAT JOB!!!
Yesterday I did put my 1st VDG duties aside for the day.  I put my Lower Paxton Twp Lions hat on for the day. (Actually, it is always on...)  Leo Emily and I counted hundreds upon hundreds of glasses collected to be passed over to Lion James tomorrow night at the State Council Dinner.  Then I also worked on gathering information for the LP LEO Informational meetings taking place later this month and next month.  I am scheduling our first prep meeting for next Thursday evening.  I am so excited about this venture.  What a fantastic opportunity for the youth of our community to learn about Lions, learn new skills and take pride in knowing they are making a difference.
I'm also working closely with Harrisburg Area Community College to possibly start a Campus Club.  If anyone knows of someone who is currently a student there, that would help greatly in getting the "in".  Since I am not a student, I am unable to complete a "club application" on the HACC campus.  Their CLUB RUSH event is coming up.  I am not able to attend to "talk Lions up", but my contact at HACC is going to put out some Campus Club brochures at the event.  I could use a currently enrolled student to attend this event and be a cheerleader for Lions.  Any help?
I think I'll take the rest of the day off!!
