Tailtwisting:
Lion Archambeau had Lion Bryan Self passing the offertory pot. A few no-shows from yesterday’s Board Meeting were fined; so were a few late comers. Leftover candy and nuts from the fall/winter project were auctioned to members present. Then he went into trivia questions. Another great session!!!
PROGRAM: Lion Russ Peterson introduced Mr. Christopher Gray. He was born in Memphis, TN and ended up based in Los Angeles. He has been associated with nearly 100 movies as a director, actor and dominates as a casting agent. He told of many of the movies and actors he has worked with during his years. Chris was very complimentary about his observations of our club’s meeting today in regard to the interactions. Chris recognized early in his Shreveport experiences that we have lots of talent here. He has opened an actor school to help people to develop their talents. We now know the difference between a casting agent and an actor’s agent. We also learned many other movie terms and business areas concerning the movie business. A Great program!!!
