“Boss” Lion Jim Heidelberg called to order the weekly meeting of the Mason Lions Club to a full house of thirty-six members and six guests from Mason High School.

The CASA quilting crew that meets once a week at St. Paul Lutheran have been very busy.
There are seventeen quilts of all colors and sizes in this second group and ten more stuffed animals, which brings the total of each, quilts and stuffed animals, to twenty-seven. But we are still a long way from reaching our goal of providing a quilt and an animal to each child that is helped by CASA.
