President’s Message UpArrowPurple

Thanks again to all of the members of our club for your efforts to reach out to your friends and neighbors for our May 7th Big Day of Giving.

Also, thanks to all of the members who were able to gather in your vehicles for a drive by birthday celebration for Lion Joe Tallerico. It was a very special time and I know that Joe really appreciated our efforts.

Since we have not been able to meet for our regular club meetings, we have made the decision to go with Zoom meetings online.

We held our first Zoom meeting for the May Board Meeting as well as for the last meeting of the month for May.

We will be holding our June meetings online as well.
