Conroe Noon Lions are gearing up for some great events as we wrap up our “Lion’s year 25/26”. Our Service Saturday had a huge turnout of helping hands with power tools and plenty of energy to tackle a list of “honey do’s” for one of our fellow Lions needing some assistance for the bigger projects. Teamwork makes for short work and once all was complete a yummy lunch was enjoyed by all. Lion Connie Engle and her team did the last Vision Screening for adult clients of the Community Assistance Center and Lion Helen Thornton rallied the Lion team to support our Reaves Bees kindergarten graduation ceremonies and celebration.
Last but certainly not least, we are all ready for one of our major fundraising events – the club’s 40th Annual Golf Tournament. Lions Logan Mizell, Geren Sims and team huddled with the Walden Golf Course managers with an eye on the very wet and big rains forecast to put the entire operation on a “tactical pause” and regroup for a fabulous event on June 11th. With the new date there are new opportunities for Lions to volunteer and support the event and the “specialty” games on the course. Everyone is adjusting their calendars and looking forward to lots of FUN and making sure our Golfers and Community Partners feel the “Lion Love” throughout their day.
Sadly, our highly talented and much appreciated CNLC Assistant, Lindsay, said farewell as her family is moving outside the area to be closer to extended family and the hubby’s career. Flowers were hardly enough to express our appreciation for her talent and enthusiasm to help our team and all the activities and service projects. “Blue Skies and Following Seas” Lindsay! Our appreciation continued with recognition for our Community Partner of the Week, Woodforest National Bank. We also recognized some of our members unavailable to receive their honors last week for their help at the Montgomery County Fair Concessions, Lions Shelia Thomas, Ricky Morton, Inge Merle and Geren Sims. Also recognized was Lion Gail Cain for her help with the annual Spring Style Show.
Program Chair (for life) Mike Sproba introduced our speaker Mr. Bryce Moore to speak about EOS techniques to assist and optimize organization managers achieve their goals and objectives. The EOS Strategy was developed by Gino Wickman the author of “Traction”. As described by Mr. Moore, the EOS strategy can free business owners of small to large employee organizations from getting stuck in the same six problems. Instead, this system will enable more focus and growth overall. EOS keeps the plan scalable, optimizes meetings and systems to track problems/solutions/measurables, and effectively addresses areas needing change. His insight was very well received by all.
Prior to adjourning the meeting President Tracy Irvine urged everyone who had a little time to help “stuff” the goody bags for the Golf Tournament and to put little goody bags together for Lions to present to our graduating Reaves Kindergartners.
