Service From The Heart!

It was the Zone 3 meeting in Webster tonight. We always like going to Webster. It is a very small town quite off the beaten path, but they have a great restaurant there called the Ranchero. The name doesn’t suggest it, but they specialize in German and Bohemian cuisine. The spatzl there is to die for! No spatzl tonight though, only pork roast with mashed potatoes and a medley of green and wax beans with carrots. PDG Mike was there, and we hadn’t seen him for quite a while, so it was nice to catch up. We also ran into Lion Kathy, who was there for a Rice County Republican meeting. We won some of the NEW Lions homemade sausage on the door prize drawing. They have been making it for over 30 years, and it’s a great money-maker for them. The just did about 1400 pounds, and had very little left after their sale.

We went to the Waterville club meeting tonight to give a presentation mostly about our trip to China and Thailand. They had a real nice turnout for their spring social meeting where they invite all the spouses. Lion Dee is the president this year, and she is really doing a great job – very organized and efficient. It’s always a blast going to Waterville, we know many of their club members, and have a good time teasing each other back and forth. At our last club meeting, when PDG Marlys presented a program on the Eyebank, some of their other members came along. I think it was Lion Kathy who christened them the “Watervillans”. I think that’s going to stick.

Debra started the program out by explaining a little about the board and the process of getting elected, and then we shifted into travelogue mode. We had planned to do a PowerPoint, but discovered earlier in the day that we didn’t have a projector, so I printed up a bunch of 8×10s to show and pass around. That worked very well, and everyone seemed to like the presentation, Lion Jack even said he would have liked to keep us there longer.
