Belton Lions Club

Lion Mack Parker’s program this last week was an informational meeting about a new planned development in Belton – Cathedral Oaks.  This development is planned to have a homestyle restaurant that will serve breakfast as well as rooms and cottages that can be used for business meetings, family reunions, or any number of overnight stay requirements.

At the time of our visit from Head Football Coach Southern, Belton had yet to play its first game.  Coach Southern stated that their club was quietly optimistic about their chances.  At the time of this writing, Belton is off to a 2 and 0 start for the first time in a while.  Pictured with Coach is our “member at large” Lion Tex from across the river.  He made sure that he wore his best Belton Red.

Lion Danny “Digger” Dossman gave a great presentation on his 72 hour solo motorcycle tour of Canada.  We personally feel that if you’re going to see Canada, it should take at least 80 hours – but he was on a schedule.

As you can tell from the excitement of our membership below, we have a legit nominee for the worst joke teller, Lion Larry Montgomery (bottom picture).  Pictures used may have been taken out of context.

The best program to date was brought to us by Belton High School’s head swimming coach, Mike Burt (pictured below).  He was very honored to be “The Program,” an honor he will take back to the high school and share with the football coaches – because in his book, the swim program at BHS is “The Program.”

In addition to a splashing good time with our program, we had a worst tie competition.  The picture on the left shows Lion David Tuma staring at his tie trying to figure out how to spell it.  But alas, our winner was Lion Jones, who got to pay our Tail Twister (Lion Street) a fine for the honor.
