Love was in the air last week at the Conroe Noon Lions Club. Our club cupid Lion Becca Ellis made her way around to several of our Lion couples getting tib-bits about dating, falling in love, and marriage advise.

Courtesy photoGreetings from the Greatest Lions Club in the World! Today was a sweet meeting with a bunch of sweethearts. Lions brought their sweethearts to this week’s meeting with Valentine’s Day being right around the corner. Many of our Lions have known their sweetheart their whole lives. Some were high school sweethearts, and some just met by pure fate. It was great to hear stories of how they met, how times have changed, and what they love about each other. Lion Becca Ellis interviewed a few Lions and was able to get their advice on how to have a long happy marriage. Lion Bobby Brennan and Lion Roy Morton had similar advice which included “yes dear” and “yes ma’am.” I like the way they think. Lion Christi Sproba’s advice was to always find things to do together, eat dinner together and talk. Lion Kim Perry said, “you have to communicate and grow together!” I’d like to say that we have some pretty wise Lions in our club. Thank you to all who brought their sweetheart to lunch and allowed us the opportunity to share sweet moments with their forever person.
Program Chair for life, Lion Mike Sproba, introduced the Montgomery County Choral Society. They arranged for a few members to come and perform for us today. Thank you for coming and putting on an outstanding performance. Our own Lion Ladoris Cates is a proud member of this organization. If you interested in joining or for more information, please email ArtisticDirector@MCChoral.org.
The Dinner/Dance & Auction is Thursday, Feb. 24, and we are ready with beads on! RSVP’s were due Friday. We hope that you all responded, and we will see you there. We are still looking for donations for Silent Auction Items. Please get any donated items you have into the Club office this Friday. We will have a workday at the convention center on Feb. 23. Please come out and assist fellow Lions in setting up for one of our biggest fundraisers of the year.
Lion Scott Perry gave us an update on the Together We Build campaign for bunkhouses at Texas Lions Camp, and we are currently at $176,000. We would like to have 100 percent support from our club members. Thank you to everyone who has contributed. If you would like more information on Texas Lions Camp or the Together we Build Campaign please ask Lion Scott Perry or Lion Wes Carr.
Service Saturday will be at Sleep in Heavenly Peace on Feb. 26. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a nonprofit organization that builds beds for children in need who live in Montgomery County. During our last Service Saturday project with them we were able to help build the beds needed and this time around we have the opportunity to deliver them to their new homes. Please sign up today to help with this rewarding project!
It’s that time again, Montgomery County Fair! We are excited to be back in the Fair Concession Stand. We kickoff on March 25; but NOW is the time to sign up for your preferred shift. This is such a wonderful opportunity to not only familiarize yourself with fellow Lions but to also get the chance to serve our community face to face. Please be sure to sign up today or you will be assigned.
