Unfortunately, I will not be on this call. I am part of a Women's Retreat that weekend.
Yours in Service!
Lion, Tammy

Aloha Judy,
I am Lion Kyle Laconsay (female), from the Lions Club of Honolulu, “Mother Club of Hawaii.” Our Lions Club was founded in 1926.
Lion Milton Ota and I have known each other now for over 10+ years, and have kept in touch since he’s moved from HI to North Dakota. He asked me a few months ago if I would be interested in helping him “revive” NFB-Lions, and as dedicated Lion here in HI, I proudly said “Yes!”
So please, if you can, come join our next NFB-Lions meeting, next Saturday, October 24th, from 5 to 6pm EST. Here is the info on the ZOOM Link:
