At the FX Lions dinner meeting on October 7th, 1VP Jim led us in a game of Lions Jeopardy. Five categories, with five clues in each. Each clue had something to do with “lions” – either the live animal type, of the service club type. Prizes were halloween candy.

All had a fun time, and lots of folks stocked up on Halloween candy!

2nd Vice District Governor Greg brought Fairfax Lions a “S2L” message: Those with a passion for SERVICE (the “S”) are great candidates to become LIONS (the first “L”) , and will become great Lion LEADERS (the second “L”). Greg emphasized the LCI theme “Serve to Lead, and Lead to Serve,” and the new Lions service priority: Mental Health.

It was a great pleasure to welcome a guest, Karla (whose dad had been a Lion for 50 years)…the photo shows Karla picking the winning ticket for the 50-50 drawing.

Finally, on behalf of the District Governor, Greg gave the DG’s award to the Fairfax Lions Club president, to present to a club member.
