Aft er a short break the guests were treated to an original skit created by Lion Harvey Kingdon titled “His Old Girlfriends.” All the actors were members of the Brandon Lions Club, it was a skit to remember.

Immediate Past International Director (IPID) Lion Bruce Beck was our guest speaker and spoke on some of Brandon’s achievements over the past 80 years. It was a fun and captivating speech. Lion Bruce Beck also presented Lion Larry Mennie and Lion Barb Hurd the International Presidents Certifi cate of Appreciation. Submitted by Lion Aletha Hall
