VOLUME 68, ISSUE 10 Sept 3,2001
EDITOR: Lion Ed Lobdell
Lion Boss Kelly gonged us to order at 12:15 sharp.
We were a relatively small group due to the Labor Day
weekend. The invocation was given by Lion
Rockabrand and the pledge honoring our flag was led
by Lion Robinson.
Song leader, PP Stoner, led us in singing happy
birthday to all Lions born in August and September,
followed by a rousing “ Lions Roar”.
History professor Stoner informed us that Nazi
Germany invaded Poland, the beginning of WW II, on
September 1, 1939. The term “Blitzkrieg” becomes
familiar to everyone.
On September 3, 1939, Britain and France declared war
on Germany, but there was little actual fighting until
May 1940 when Germany invaded France. This period
was known as the phoney war by the British and
“sitzkrieg” by the Germans which meant- sitting war.
While August 15, 1945 is recognized as V-J Day, the
formal instrument of surrender was signed on
September 2,1945 on the battleship USS Missouri in
Tokyo bay. And there are only 111 days left for
Christmas shopping, but Sam’s already has Christmas
items on sale…..
There were no guests in attendance today, but Lion
Mac Snodgrass (running from a hurricane) returned
from his sabbatical to the east coast.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lion Geoff- Serving at the
Opportunity House will be on the 13th, rather than the
6th due to Labor Day. Turkey leg sales on September
18 at the Franklin Mountain State Park. PP Ambacher-
Work on this year’s float begins on Saturday the 11th
of September at the float barn. Be there 8 to 12 for
inventory and organization. No special skills required.
PP Rick Kern- September 23 social. Dinner at IL Posto
Italiano, 7128 N. Mesa. Social 6PM, Dinner 6:30PM. $25
per person for choice between three entrees with all
the trimmings. October 28 UTEP Dinner Theater ,

HEALTH AND WELFARE: Lion Littlefield reported that
Len McGuirk & Jan Poer are not doing well this week.
Keep them in your thoughts & prayers. Lion Ted
Bender was with us again today.
PROGRAM: PDG Jim Peak introduced our speaker
PDG Dean Royalty who enlightened us on the many
great things that LCIF does in the community and
around the world. His presentation included a film clip
in addition to his providing us with a variety of
impressive statistics.
Raffle winners too numerous to mention.
