This past weekend...

I was so exhausted last evening upon returning from District 14-T's 1st Cabinet meeting of the 2014-2015 Lions year. But I folded some laundry, made Eric's sandwich for lunch, chatted with Emily and DG Elizabeth via email and fell right to sleep.
So here I am this morning...bright eyed and bushy-tailed!  Ready to tell you about my weekend.
The Lower Paxton Twp Lions had a very successful Chicken BBQ on Saturday. Selling out is always a good thing when it comes to chicken bbqs.  Lion John asked us to be there to set up at 9:00 a.m. To start selling at 10:30. So here I come at 9:05 (I had to get my iced tea...needed the caffeine) and everything was set up already. Now I love Lion John dearly, but when he tells us to be somewhere at a particular time from now on...I'm arriving an hour later. :-)
What a great event on Saturday though. Teamwork, FUN, fellowship...the Lower Paxton Lions are an awesome group of volunteers that support their community and HAVE FUN DOING IT!  What more can you ask for?!
After the BBQ, Lion Eric and I stopped to pick up his green jacket. Had to have it for Sunday's cabinet meeting. This was the man who adamantly refused to wear a green jacket when he found out he had to.  It's the only time in the years I've known him that he drew a line and said NO.  Well, as my Partner In Service, and because he knew how much it meant to me, he did.  And I must say, he looked SHARP!
Then we collected our eyeglasses from our eyeglass collection at the Colonial Park Mall.
By this time...I needed my chicken BBQ meal and I wasn't doing another thing until I had it!
So the rest of the day consisted of watching Michigan football LOSE (not happy...Lion Eric and I will be in Michigan to see them play Penn State...hoping for a miracle), completing my report for the Calendar project and counting eye glasses.
Then Sunday...I was installed as the 1st VDG of District 14-T as the rest of the Cabinet was installed as well. Announcement we made from numerous committees...including our very own PDG Pete who gave us some more information about our District 14-T Convention. We are trying something new...going from a 3 day event to a 1 day event. Looking forward to it...Shippensburg University...where...



And the highlight of the day...not mine...was that pesky PDG Pete AGAIN and his cohort in crime, ZC John Mallonee...was this...
