Party!!

At our 19F Spring Conference on March 10th the Generations of Fun Party starts at 4 pm, and ends at 9pm. Gaming is the thing from 4 until 6 with Bunco, Darts, Horseshoes, Pokemon Cards, a Cookie Baking Contest (3 dozen entries) and Croquet. Non performance District Contest and awards like Club Brochures, Club Bulletin or Newsletter, Club Business Card, Traditional & Non Traditional Scrapbook, Zone Chairman Newsletter and Club Website should be turned in to Contest Chairwoman Carol Butterfield during this time period. 

Here's a link to the judging criteria for all the contests.

At 6 the Hamburgers, Floats, Dancing and Performance Contests begin. DJ Jon Loney does digital tunes for dancing and listening on request. Your DG Dave Walk will attend attired in jeans, tee shirt, head band and love beads in keeping with the dress of the era when he started dancing.  Interspersed between the recorded music will be entrants for the District's traditional Performance Contests which include the 5 Minute Speech on a current year achievement of your club, a 3 Minute humorous story, a Musical Comedy Performance, and a regular Musical number. You may enter as many categories as you wish and I wish you would. I don't want to be the only old folkie embarrassing myself with my singing and guitar playing. 

The Chevron Dinner (a.k.a Purple Polo Poobah Party) starts at 7 on Saturday Night. I promised you no long formal speeches during my club visits and you get to help deliver on my promise. Here's how it will work. A trumpet fanfare will get the audience's attention. Let's say your club is to receive an award for Best Club Service Project or you are called forward to receive your Chevron for years of loyal service as a Lion. Amid resounding cheers and applause you stride to the platform to accept your award and pose for the picture! Next, it becomes your privilege to don a Flintstones style Horned Poobah Helmet and a Royal Ermine Robe and be ushered to the Throne Chair for fun pictures. Should you then wish to share a short speech of thanks or encouragement the microphone will be yours. The awards (Chevron, Achievements, Contests, etc.) will be given out between inspiring speeches by dignitaries such as Past International Director Anne Smarsh, Northwest Lions Foundation Chairman Bill Lundin and retiring MD19 Executive Secretary/Treasurer Patty Allen.

We look forward to seeing you and your participation at our Annual Conference.
