The Mason Lions Club raised over $1,100 during their hamburger luncheon on April 3rd, and all the profits were presented to the Mason Parent Teacher Organization this week. Left to right: Elementary principal, Tammy Parrish; Rhona Lemke of the Mason PTO; and Kirby Groves of the Mason Lions Club.

The Mason Lions Club met Tuesday, April 7th, for its monthly business meeting. There were 35 members and 1 visitor in attendance.

"Boss Lion" Denwood Butler was responsible for the program and Secretary/Treasure Gene Gammill read the minutes and gave the financial report. The Club voted to donate all profits from the Hamburger Lunch held on Friday April 3rd, which amounts to $1,118.19 to the PTO/Elementary Pavilion. The Lions Club was very pleased with the success of the Hamburger Lunch and being able to donate this amount to a worthy cause.

The club's next meeting will be held Tuesday, April 14th, at noon at Zavala's. The program chairman will be John Copeland and the program will be on BlueBonnet C.A.S.A.

The Mason Lions Club has an ongoing program to recycle used eyeglasses to people who need them. Used eyeglasses may be given to any Lion or left in collection boxes at any of the local banks. Also, please contact any Mason Lion if you know of anyone in our community unable to afford appropriate eye care.
