FEBRUARY BIRTHDAYS
Lions Ben Burroughs and Carroll Edwards
SHRIMP & JAZZ FESTIVAL
Thirteen of members were on hand Saturday, October 8th for the festival. We had a good number of visitors and did very well given the festival only ran the one day. Brisk sales in brooms, water and soda as well as Coupon Books for local restaurants, etc to feed our Administrative account.
HIGHWAY 17 CLEAN-UP
Eight members of our club joined twomembers of the Community Coalition of Little River (CCLR) November 12th to pick up litter along Highway 17 from Dunkin Donuts to Baker Street at the Post Office. It was cold weather at 8 AM, and we gathered 135 lbs. raising our total to 4,140 pounds.. Our next pick-up will be February 18th, 2012 at 9 AM.

ANOTHER HANDICAP RAMP BY LITTLE RIVER LIONS NOVEMBER 2011
On November 28th we built a ramp in Lion Jack Crowley's garage. We were glad it was in the garage as it was raining and you can see the rain drops in some of the pictures.
Platform done at door into home. Down ramp supports under construction.

OUR FEBRUARY MEETINGS
Our first meeting at Horry Restaurant was February 7th with 15 members and one guest attending. We were pleased to have Vern Cappell as a guest and prospective new member. Vern will be filling out an application for membership in our club. We look forward to his joining us. Lion Randy, running for 1st VDG at the 32-C convention this weekend, reviewed the convention happenings and confirmed four other members will be attending. The convention is at the Beach Cove Resort at 48th Avenue S and Ocean Blvd. in North Myrtle Beach. We hope more of our members will be attending. Lion Randy showed a picture of the silent auction gift basket that Lion Doris Burroughs assembled for the convention auction. We then passed around the sign-up sheets for the highway clean-up on February 18th, the St. Patricks Day parade on March 17th and the Candy Day on March 24th. Lion Ben Burroughs reviewed the current status of the Blus Crab Festival on May 19th and 20th. Attending members were pleased with the food and atmosphere at Horry Restaurant.
Horry Restaurant proved to be a good location for our meetings.
God bless you all.
