It’s great to have the fans and interaction on Facebook, so keep it up, and I’ll do better here.

I have revised the way my photos are displayed and now you can view photos from two different pages:

• A gallery of photo albums for 2009 events can be found on the 2009 Photos page
• A gallery of photo albums for 2010 events can be found on the 2010 Photos page

To catch you up on my events since the last blog post, I’ve been a busy Lion!

December 2009 brought cool weather (which I really enjoy) and three Christmas Parades with Lions:

• Morristown Lions Club on December 3 (view photos)
• Powell Lions Club on December 5 (view photos)
• Oak Ridge Lions Club on December 12 (view photos)

I helped the Halls Lions Club with a public relations/awareness booth at the Knoxville Center Mall (view photos).

I participated in the Lions District 12-N Convention in February and managed to get into some mischief at the Friday night social, and learn a thing or two during Saturday morning sessions (view photos).

I joined with the Halls Lions Club, West Side Leos and other Lions to walk in the 2010 Dogwood Arts Festival Parade in Knoxville (view photos).

I participated in the Walk for Sight to help raise money for the Lions District 12-N Charities’ White Cane Agencies (view photos).

I visited the Knoxville Tri-County Lions Club Car Show (view photos), but didn’t last too long in the heat and humidity (bring back winter!)

On July 3, I participated in the Powell Lions Club Independence Day Parade (view photos) and the Norris Day Celebration.

I’ve got some pretty exciting things planned for August and September, so be on the lookout!

West Side Leo Group

They had a terrific turn-out of Leo members, as you can see from the photo, and many, many students!

Hmmm. . . I didn’t realize I was looking down in that group photo. I guess that’s a new challenge for dealing with this big head!

HVA Administrator

It was nice to meet the Leo Club Advisor and one of the school administrators.

I can’t remember the administrator’s name, but she told me her son had been the University of Tennessee mascot a few years before.

So she understood the temperature challenges and was nice enough to offer me a place to rest if needed.

West Side Leos

The Leos did a terrific job setting up and decorating for the dance.

They also stayed pretty busy throughout the evening with handling admissions, refreshments, and activities!

A couple took a break from working to have a picture taken with me. Great costumes!

When I wandered back toward the dance area, several of the students wanted to know who I was. . . expecting I was a fellow student.

I decided “better safe than sorry” and left the partying to the students once the dance got moving in full gear.

Congratulations to the West Side Leos for a successful event!

Hopefully, I’ll have the chance to work with the Leos again!

I’ve got larger versions of the photos in my photo album.

Keeping Roaring!
