dedication to Lionism. Thanks to PDG
B. Little and to (our soon-to-be) Lion Nita Byrd.
Tailtwisting:
Tailtwister Lion Bill Archambeau had Lion
Bryan Self passing “pot”,,,,oops, I meant “the pot”. Several were fined for being late; several
for “minor-to-major-minor infractions” including Lion B. Byrd’s flubbing the “order of the day” for the Pledge; and
then Lion Bill launched into a few
jokes, a few tardees and entertainment-related trivia-items.
PROGRAM: Lion Gloria Lynch introduced Dr. Todd Thoma. Dr.
Thoma told many points he considers important for the upcoming Caddo Parish Coroner’s Office race. Due to “politico-related-agenda”
restrictions; I’ll only ask you to view www.thomaforcoroner.com. In the interest of the fairness-doctrine, I
“googled” Dr. Marius McFarland and did not get any campaign-related
websites.
