103rd President’s Message
Well, ok buckaroos,
I reckon it’s a real pleasure to be talkin’ to y’all today. As your President, I
just wanted to tip my hat and say thank you for lettin’ me take the reins of
this fine club. Now, I ain’t no songwriter like ol’ Jerry Jeff or songleader like
Jaylon, but I’ll do my darnedest to keep the spirit of Lionism alive and
kickin’.
You know, we’ve done some mighty fine work over the years – helpin’ folks
with their eyes, supportin’ them young’uns in our schools, and even takin’ a
spin on that ornery mechanical bull down at the Angelina County Benefit
Rodeo. I tell ya, some of y’all are natural-born cowboys, and some of us,
well, we make for good laughin’ stock! But that’s the beauty of our club, ain’t it?
We’re a mixed bag of tricks, but when it comes to servin’ our community, there’s nothin’ we won’t do.
So, let’s saddle up for another year of givin’ it our all, whether it’s wranglin’
service projects or wrestlin’ with them wild ideas that just might work.
I reckon each one of you’s got a story to tell, and I’d sure love to hear ‘em.
And remember, when the goin’ gets tough, just put on some Jerry Jeff tunes,
kick back with a cold one, and let that Texan spirit guide you.
Here’s to the Lufkin Host Lions Club, to the Angelina County Benefit
Rodeo, and to another year of good deeds, good friends, and maybe a few
good laughs. So, let’s charge our way into this year, partners, and make it
one for the books.
Yours in Lionism and a little bit of that Texas troubadour spirit,
Roar,
William Price
President, Lufkin Lions Club
