Some folks' eyes start to glaze over when you start talking about budgets, but this is something that directly affects us as citizens of Collin County. So don't miss this opportunity to learn what your county government is up to!

October 18th, 2008 -- PR Expert Lion Jeff Crilley (Ennis Lions) will present a program on "Marketing Without Money". Jeff Crilley left TV news after 25 years in the business to start his own PR firm. During his news career, he made hundreds of national news appearances including CNN, CNN Headline News, FOX News, The Discovery Channel, Good Morning America and The CBS Early Show. You won't want to miss this talk. Jeff has a popular demonstration to illustrate one of his points that will have everyone blowing bubbles. No kidding! This is not a lecture, folks. It's the event everyone will be bubbling about. He has been recognized by his peers with dozens of national and regional awards including the Emmy, the National Headliners Award, the Edward R. Murrow Award, the Thurgood Marshall Award and in 2004 was named by the Texas Associated Press, "The Best TV Reporter in the state."

PELC Projects
Thanks mainly to the efforts of Lion 1st VP Bill
Keyburn, the first PELC Texas Hold'em Tournament was a big success. Lion Bill has also discovered other opportunities for the club. See the
ROAR
Lion Secretary Ken Gleason has discovered another opportunity for us to serve our community. See the ROAR
If you have any ink cartridges or used cellphones to recycle, bring them to the meeting and give them to Lion Doug (note: we can't use toner cartridges at this time). If you have any eyeglasses or eyeglass cases you would like to donate, bring them to the meeting and give them to Lion Andrew.
If you discover any community needs that we as Lions can address, please let us know!
