Lions: Remember, remember the fifth of this November
Just look at this, the column responsibility fell to me this week and on Guy Fawkes Day no less. What an appropriate day for me to be reporting the carnage from the latest failed insurrection at the Conroe Noon Lions Club.
It seems that a covert operation to subvert a certain talented leader of song was undertaken last week by certain rogue members having the audacity to sing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” over the song I was leading.
However, do not despair, the good guys prevailed, of course, and will live to sing another day. It was not quite the October Surprise that they had in mind. They can’t get Uncle Dub out of there so easily. I’ll be back and I plan to sing a new and special song in the future. ‘Twill be a song o’ victory!”
Speaking of terrific and mind-blowing art, by which, of course, I refer to my lovely and elegant baritone, we had a couple of special guests who participated in our club’s portion of the Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest.
You know one of the funny things about art? Well, not funny really, rather one of the beautiful and intriguing things about art. The best art connects with people in various ways and sometimes not how the artist intends.
One of the students drew a couple of buildings with a hand holding up a peace sign. Many of the voters in the contest saw the twin towers in the art, but the artist did not intend it that way.
Another contestant drew a terrific piece incorporating various signs of world peace and harmony. Both of these contestants, Luke Breedlove and Hannah Meisetschlaeger were the winners in their category. The quality and workmanship in these pieces was extraordinary. It would surprise many to learn the artists are students at a local junior high school.
Our guest presenter this week was Allison Hebert of Mission Acupuncture. Not having been a patient of acupuncture, after listening to her presentation, I’m now willing to actually try it out. This is pretty much a ringing endorsement from a rabid skeptic like me. I’m particularly intrigued by her explanation of everything that can be deciphered from simply looking at your tongue.
So next time you find me somewhere sticking my tongue out in front of a mirror, it’s because I’m practicing the ancient medical art of the Far East, and not because I enjoy making faces in the mirror. I would never participate in such tomfoolery.
We have a packed schedule of events before the holidays. Many of our club members, as well as some of the greatest Leos ever from Conroe High School, are volunteers at the Challenge Air event on Nov. 10. We are also in preparation mode for our annual Lucky Derby. Our meeting this week will be a Membership Fair, and our president and vice-president have great plans to meet and greet all prospective members, so don’t miss out on that. Especially since one of the aforementioned male escorts is our defending Corn Hole Champion.
You’ll have to come out on Wednesday to determine which one.
All joking aside, if you ever thought about becoming a Lion, or would just like to know more about what our club does, please come and join us this Wednesday. I guarantee you will come away surprised to learn how much we do. And if you feel like you just won’t know anyone there, I’ll be the good guy wearing a white hat. You know you can always trust those types.
