GOOD CHEER:
.Lion Ron Black was in and out of the hospital last week with A-Fib and was back to the meeting today saying everything is back ‘in sync”.
.Lion Keith Bailes came home from the rehab facility yesterday and per his photo on Lion Cathy’s face book page he looks better than ever but still a few weeks before he can put stress on the new shoulder.
IF you know of any members who are in distress, sick or in the hospital, PLEASE notify PP Yvonne so our good wishes can be sent to them. Paris4L6@cox.net
