Attendance: We had 23 members and 2 guests present for the evening. Our guests were Lions Wayne and Linda Sherfey from Taneytown Lions.

Lion Larry also expressed thanks to Lions Terry, Susan and Bob, and also to Linda Sell for helping with an after funeral gathering on the previous Saturday.

Lion Larry also reported on the candy and nut sales.

We decided that we would not have Santa make a visit for our Family Christmas Meeting on December 20th, but would have entertainment that evening.

Lion Susan Cox asked about the possibility of our winners in the Peace Poster and American Heritage Contest being accompanied by their complete immediate family, since some of the families has more than one child. We approved her request.

Lion Brian Cox announced that the Sportsman’s Gun Raffle is scheduled for January 29th with a snow date of February 5th.

Business: Lion Wayne Weeks said that we would have our Santa visitation at our building on Saturday, December 18th from 12:00 to 2:00 p.m. Lion Ralph Gann will be our Santa.

We selected our “Christmas Family in Need” for this year making a donation to them and holding other funds in reserve for the Woodsboro/New Midway Elementary Caring Fund. We also made a donation to Carroll County Times “Holiday Hope Program”.

The 50-50 drawing with a value of $12.00 was won by Lion Shelbe Stambaugh, who donated back to our administrative fund. President Kevin adjourned the meeting at 7:59 p.m. with a Board of Directors Meeting to follow.
