Tailtwisting: Lion TT Bill Archambeau went into action with Lion Gabby doing the collecting. Several Lions were fined for being late. Lots of trivia questions followed by a barrage of jokes from all over the room. An extended TT session was held since no speaker showed up for the program. It turned out to be a great, fun networking time. Lion Dan Delaney received his birthday song.
