JULY 2016 VOLUME 85
Greetings from Lion President Judi,
Thank you for honoring me by electing me president again. As most of you know I love
being a Lion. We have a very full year ahead of us and I hope that we are able to touch more
people than ever before. Past President John and I have been working on obtaining a visual
screening tool for children which we feel will be a wonderful tool for the children of Cabarrus
County. We also have the VAVS Bingo coming up, as well as our picnic for the LIFE Center
and the VIP Fishing Tournament in October at the Outer Banks and a few projects First
Vice President Lion James Strong and I are working on setting up.
I would like to encourage all of you to consider attending the District Convention on No-
vember 4-5 in Winston Salem. First, for all the fun and knowledge you will experience, and
secondly, to support Lion George Culp our First Vice District Governor. Family Night is
Karaoke and you will
want to go and share
your talents with all
our district Lions. If
you don’t feel like
performing, you still
have an opportunity
to watch some of
your fellow members make fools of themselves; I

A computer once beat me at
chess, but it was no match
for me at kick boxing.
Ever stop to think and forget
to start again?
When I married Ms. Right, I
had no idea her first name
was Always.
My wife got 8 out 10 on her
driver's test--the other two
guys managed to jump out of
her way.
There may be no excuse for
laziness, but I'm still look-
ing.
Women spend more time
wondering what men are
thinking than men spend
thinking.
Give me ambiguity or give
me something else.
He who laughs last thinks
slowest.
Is it wrong that only one
company makes the game
Monopoly?
Women sometimes make
fools of men, but most guys
are the do-it-yourself type.
I was going to give him a
nasty look, but he already
had one.
Change is inevitable, except
from a vending machine.
The grass may be greener on
the other side but at least
you don't have to mow it.
I like long walks, especially
when they're taken by peo-
ple who annoy me.
I was going to wear my cam-
ouflage shirt today, but I
couldn't find it.
If at first you don't succeed,
skydiving is not for you.
Sometimes I wake up
grumpy; other times I let
him sleep.
If tomatoes are technically a
fruit, is ketchup a smoothie?
No matter how much you
push the envelope, it'll still
be stationery.

Some of our fearless lead-ers attended the Interna-tional Convention. Top Left is photo of District Governor Butch Conrad celebrating his birthday with the other governors from North Carolina.
The Convention is kicked off with a parade of all the Lions from every country attending the convention. It normally lasts hours and with the convention being held in Japan, hundreds and hundreds of Lions at-tended and marched in the parade from Asian coun-tries.
Above is photo of the NC Lions getting ready for the parade and on left they are passing in review at the end of the parade. On the front row a Past Inter-national Director Harvey Whitley and Diane.

meant to say display their talents. Our club will also be assisting Lion George in host-
ing the hospitality room. (note: When I was Vice Governor, the club’s supporting the
hospitality room was one of the nicest memories I have. Please help if you can, Lion
Ron) There will be a boutique in which we may donate and/or purchase items made and
donated by district Lions.
Looking forward to a happy, healthy and prosperous new year with all of you. Don’t
forget to come and help with the Mobile Screening
Unit at the Logan Center on August 24th from 9am
till 2pm.
Have a great month,
Lion Pres Judi
PS: I have had the pleasure of volunteering each
Wednesday at Camp Dogwood to give the staff
nurse a day off. I have done everything from baiting hooks with worms, taking fish off
hooks, serving snow cones, serving meals and seeing to the medical needs of our camp-
ers. It is a magical place for our campers, and the campers and staff are exceptional and
loving people. It is my hope that one day you will be able to volunteer there and find out
for yourself how great our camp is.
