Membership Cards, Skype, and the Birmingham Mail

I finally got membership cards into the mail to all California Lions Club members.  It took a little time, but I'm excited about the continued growth of the club (80+ members now on the books).  It was nice to receive a "chairman's" pin from Villa + a couple of Lions Club scarves.

The first chairmen's meeting is scheduled right before the upcoming match against Swansea City.  I emailed in a suggestion of maybe trying to set up a simple Skype connection for some of us to "join" in from afar.

One of our members was home visiting family in the UK over the summer and he had to miss our July trip to Portland.  While he was on holiday, he picked up a copy of the Birmingham Mail and there was a short article about the California Lions!  I really appreciated his effort to bring an actual copy of the paper back to the States for me!
