Of course you did. It was heard as Lion Tommy smiled and handed you your very own packet of 100 tickets for the 28 th annual Fathers Day Pancake Breakfast. And, he will most assuredly smile again as you return and hand him the proceeds of your efforts.
Effort is the key word here.
That is all he and the Pancake Breakfast Committee really want to see from each of their fellow Lions. Each year that I have had the these tickets handed to me, there has been one unsubstantiated rumor after another about the penalties or sanctions that will be placed on Lions that fail to sell any tickets for our fundraiser. The truth is all anyone is ever talking about is the effort expended in doing what you can to support your club, and thereby support community projects and activities. A s with all of our projects, meetings, social occasions and get-togethers, there are some events and days that some times conflict with other scheduled activities in our busy lives. Circumstance also plays a part here.
