Announcements
.

 – Stampede, April 30th: Registration opens January 31st online at Active.

   Sponsor and registration forms – Ride Map. Secretary Stagner urged each member to bring in 1 sponsor at any level.

 – Flag Program – renewal invoices to be sent in January – very few requests for flag replacement from invoicing – renewals are coming in.  A new box of 50 flags was available for restocking each Team’s supplies. The remaining flags in the box were delivered over to the Belton Journal by Lion Matthews – Thank You!
We will not need to schedule a flag replacement day at the Journal – Lion Tuma has offered to help with his interns.

 – Effective January 2022 – the GIN has raised the lunch price by $2.00, due to increased supply costs.  The increase will be reflected on the April Invoice/Statements.

 – Fundraiser: Grand Avenue Movie Theatre $20.00 Gift Cards – we still have four cards remaining and will order more; once they are gone.

 – Lion President Corsi has been handing out our Belton Lion Business Cards to prospective new members, and two of them joined us for lunch today – both were given Membership applications.

 – Charter Night will be on April 21st.
 – The Open at Belton (Disc Golf) is scheduled for March 18-20 at Heritage Park.  This is a DGPT Silver Series tournament.  Belton Lions are planning, to again, serve hot dogs & chips – and maybe sell Grand Avenue Movie Theatre Gift Cards – plus, we could hand out flyers on our Stampede Bicycle Ride.

– February Board Meeting – will be Thursday, February 17th, immediately following the Lunch Meeting.

Program:  Lion Powell invited Shannon Gowen, Executive Director, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Temple; and member of the Temple Founders Lions Club. Shannon presented the Club with an update on RMHC operations and plans; plus several heartwarming family stories.  Thank You!
