We in Cassiar were very fortunate to have our
District Governor Vern Hilliard visit us over the weekenc
of February 13th. To make the visit more enjoyable he
brought along Past Governor Bill Johnson from Anchorage
and Lion Jack McFarland membership Chairman from Heally
Valley, Alaska.

The Lions Zone Meeting chaired by our Cassiar Lion
Alf Guderjahn got underway at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday
afternoon with 30 Lions attending including the President
and Secretary of Watson Lake . The main emphasis of the
meeting was on membership; if you can find people with
the desire to serve they should make good Lions.

Cassiar Lions have built up a real good reputation
not only in Cassiar but throughout the whole District
49. They are noted as the leader in accomplishments and
although they may have little ups & downs they still
perform a lot of projects for the betterment of this
community. Watson Lake Lions have also made a good name
for themselves, particularly over the past 3 years and
at present are going great guns with the ambition of
bidding for the next winter conference to be held next
November. It was also emphasised that all Lions should
attend the Lions Convention to be held in Whitehose next
May 6 - 9th.

The Lions Bonspiel started at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday
morning with 12 teams of Lions and their ladies partici-
pating in a series of 4 end games.

The curling was stopped for a few hours in the
evening while 70 Lions, Ladies & Guests attended a
marvelous dinner prepared and served by the Cafeteria.
Master of Ceremonies Lion Ed Michael performed even
better than usual to make it very enjoyable. To add to
the entertainment Frank McLean showed some of his movies.

Governor Vern Hilliard spoke words of inspiration
to the Cassiar and Watson Lake Lions. Past Governor
Bill Johnson, also made a few remarks about the Lions
International Convention to be held in Hawaii in late
June 1976.

Governor Vern was also very pleased to be able to
indoctrinate four new members into the Cassiar Lions
Club. The new Lions with their motto, "WE SERVE" are:
Lorne Armstrong, Graham Friberg, Werner Kleimann and
John Inch.

President Ed Hanley then made a presentation to
Lions Reg Ash for his work over the past year of col-
lecting empty beer bottles, one of the most lucrative
projects for the Lions activities fund. . President Ed
also presented Lion Rupert McKenzie a plaque for his
devotion over the past 7 years aS promotor and manager
of the Cassiar Lions Swimming Pool.

The next part of the program was a Chinese Auction
to raise funds for the widow and 4 children of the late
President of Hains Junction Lions Club. Mrs. Eileen
Boyle will receive the $181.00 which was raised on the
Auction.

The Curling went on after the dinner to wind up
