The Cassiar Lions held a lovely dinner in the Curling Rink Lounge for all the Lions and their wives, and Governor Vern spoke on his beliefs of what Lionism is all about. As Lion Vern is a very dedicated Lion we hope that some of it will rub off onto our Cassiar Lions. The Hilliard's were very impressed with our town and all the work done by the Cassiar Lions. Governor Very also was very pleased to be able to initiate Don Bay croft into the Cassiar Lions.
