On August 10, the Mason Lions Club met at Nachos for their weekly meeting. Anyone interested in joining the Mason Lions Club, and serving the Mason community, need only ask any Mason Lion.

Lion Frank Bartlett introduced David Maxwell as his guest, and Lion Peter Aguilar introduced Sam Cox as his guest. Welcome, and come back anytime, gentlemen.

The club was fortunate to have Lion Bob Davee to fill in spontaneously for the lack of a scheduled speaker. Lion Bob grew up in Brady, which gave him a source for his stories and adventures.

In the first tale Lion Bob recalled being at a family reunion out in the country when he was about four years old. Lion Bob told his mother he had to “go” and she told him to go behind a large bush nearby.

Lion Bob's Aunt Lola and the man she was walking out with (later her husband) were on the other side of the bush, somewhat away from the others at the reunion.

As Lion Bob approached the bush one of his uncles, known for his pranks, stopped Lion Bob and the uncle told him that he would give Bob a dime if Bob would instead fill Aunt Lola's cup. So he did.

Aunt Lola and Mother were appropriately outraged and gave little Bob a “good talking to” and sent him on. As Bob went away, his uncle called him over and said, “Good job, kid, here's a dime.”

The Mason Lions Club is very proud of its state and national Service contributions in addition to its many local Service activities. Won't you come and join this group actively providing Service to our community and nation?

The Mason Lions Club also promotes sight conservation in our community. Anyone who has used eyeglasses to donate may give them to a Lions Club member or place them in collection boxes at the local banks. Also, if anyone needs financial assistance with eyeglasses, please speak to a local Lions Club member.

The Mason Lions Club Charitable Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization devoted to service to the community. If you wish to serve your community, come join the Mason Lions Club. Ladies as well as gentlemen are welcome to help us improve our service to Mason and the surrounding area.
