Hello Darien and everyone,

     I will be sending out a flyer tomorrow or earlier this week 
describing a gift project that the San Antonio Region 20 Lions Club will 
be involved in on December 3. The project went on last year, but I felt 
I was not a good gift-wrapper, so I did not participate. However, this 
year I plan to get involved by sticking on bows or tying ribbon. There 
is always something someone can do in such a project if he or she 
believes in the cause and wants to participate. I'll let the flyer speak 
for itself when I transfer it from my work computer. One or two of my 
Chapter members will be coming as well, and one need not be a Lion to 
participate.
