On Friday morning, Debra went to the Council of Governor’s Executive Session, while I went to the “Meet the Director’s Spouse” activity. There were about a dozen people there, all Lions, and we had a very good discussion about membership ideas, service, our personal stories, our clubs, and all manner of Lions topics.
Lunch included a presentation by the Conklin Center/Camp. They are especially dedicated to serving youth who are blind or visually impaired along with another disability. It sounded like they have a great thing going there, and that the Lions of Florida support them very generously. Their director is an energetic young woman from Minnesota! Lunch was a plated meal of warm chicken crepes and asparagus, and was just delicious.
After lunch, DG Estelle introduced me to PDG Bob, my golfing partner. We went to a public course nearby, and had a great time. The weather was a little breezy, but very comfortable. I hadn’t swung a club since early August, and it showed. I did manage one birdie and one par for the round, but aside from that I was pretty wild, and had to scramble to make bogey or even double bogie on some holes. It was a great afternoon though, and we had a great time.
Friday’s social included hamburgers & hot dogs, potato salad, coleslaw, watermelon, and apple cobbler for dessert. That was very fun as well as delicious. The entertainment for the night was Karaoke, and even though most couldn’t sing any better than me (which isn’t too good), everyone had a great time.
