ANNOUNCEMENTS/GOOD OF THE ORDER

.Prez Mike reminded us that April 13th is the deadline for making your reservation for our 75th Anniversary Dinner Party.  With less than 10 days before the deadline it’s important to contact PP Yvonne right away as reservations are required.

.Also, he reported on the Lions (nee San Diego Lions Mike Morrow) Baseball Tournament which begins next Monday and finalizes on the 14th.  Since several of our club members have volunteered to assist it was agreed that the Board Meeting scheduled for next Thursday the 14th will be held immediately after the club meeting on the 11th.

.Pres. Mike presented Dick Nasif his 30-year tenure chevron.  Roger Stebleton (45 years) and Ray Ridlon (20 years) will receive their chevrons at their next club meeting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU
