Lions Hold Regular
Weekly Meeting
Club Will Stage Black Face Minstrel
Here At Future Date

he regular noon day luncheon of
the Lions Club at the Lee Grant Ho-
tel on Tuesday was one of the most
enjoyable occasions in the history of
me club. 1t was a very Informal al
iair' combining business with pleas
ure.
An unusual number of familiar songs
were sung all during the lunch hour,
furnishing entertainment for the club
members. The luncheon was unique in
that the courses were served in reverse
order.
Among the important subjects dis
cussed was the Black Face Minstrel
to be put on by the Club at an early
date. The Lions Club can boast of
some of the best talent in South Geor-
gla and this play promises to be one
OF the best OF its kind ever put on in
our city. Interest in the proposal to
establish Lion Clubs in the adjoining
towns was manifested by the organ
lzatlon when a committee composed
OF Lions Lassetter, McRae, and Luke
was appointed to investigate this mat
ter. This committee will probably go
to Rochelle first as they have no civ
ic club in that town.
An invitation was extended to the
Club by Miss Ethel Mayo in person
to attend the Second Ward Carnival
which was gladly accepted the Lions
attending this event on Wednesday
night.
The regular weeks luncheon was
rcalled off for next week and an even
ng dinner TO include all the wives of
the Lions was decided upon for the
following Friday evening.
