attendance: If you weren’t at today’s special annual Christmas assembly, then you missed a great bunch of people.  You also missed the Tailtwister’s annual reciting of A Cajun Christmas, A Special Christmas Poem, and the club’s participation in The Cajun Twelve Days of Christmas.   In attendance today: Lions DG Bonnie Pharr, Ed Ball, Mike Middleton, Gary Lipscomb, Elena Corley, Cindy Fortson, Mary Howe, Stuart Reeks, Bryan Self, Craig Kennedy, Steve and Rubye Davitt, Hubert and Libby Gleason, Bud and Nita Byrd and grandson, Thomas; Oscar Smith, Jerry Paige, Ed Stevenson and wife, Faye; Bob and wife, Dorothy; Scott Harkey and son, Jack; Bill Archambeau and wife, Dorothy; Charlie Smith and wife, Francine;  Alan Yokem and wife, Kelli; Larry LaBorde and wife, Putty; Paul Little and wife, Martha; Mrs. Joe Rosett.  It was such a great attendance, too bad we can’t have this many folks at every meeting.
