(Cushing, Okla) Jim Pickard, President of the local Lions Club International, called the meeting to order today at 12:22 p.m. The agenda started with song and pledge by Lion Jerry Snyder. This was followed by prayer requests for local families along with prayer by Russ Thurman.
President Pickard told the club that he had received a Thank You card from the New Castle Lions Club for the $350 donation which included $150 that was given by President Pickard himself from his winnings in the 50/50 drawing.
Lion Lou Griffin presented a proposal to accept the old ice machine/maker from Hillcrest Hospital to the Cushing Lions Club. It was decided that the City of Cushing may actually be the owner of the ice machine/maker and that Lion Lou may actually need to further investigate the proposal.
Lion Tom Cummings reported to the club that he had a call from Lion Magazine to find an outstanding club in Oklahoma to be in the magazine. Tom told the magazine that the Ponca City Noon Lions Club was good club to consider since they do the Spot Vision Screenings and own their own camera.
Tom also updated the club on the Meadows of Hope Subdivision (Boys Ranch) and the new construction going on in Perkins, Oklahoma. The new part of the Boys Ranch will house up to four foster kids (including females).
January 10th (2015) a Lions Club council meeting is scheduled to take in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
