Richmond Noon Lions

Meeting Information

The Richmond Noon Lions club is a group of approximately 60 individuals from the Richmond, Indiana area who meet weekly at MCL Cafeteria in the Richmond Square Mall complex. The first meeting of each month is reserved for a business meeting. The remaining meetings during the month feature special programs chosen by that month's program chair. Recent meetings have featured elected officials, local authors, and school groups.

Members begin arriving at approximately 11:00 a.m. for fellowship time prior to the meeting. Members arrive throughout the next hour, grab a bite to eat and enjoy visiting with Lion friends. The Tail Twister and Assistant Tail Twister along with "Hi Lion" greeter and Lion Tamer and Assistant Lion Tamer provide various activities, questions, and the occasional fine to see to it that everyone feels welcome and gets involved in the meeting.

Lion President Yvona has made a few changes to the format of meetings for the 2004-2005 year. Regular meetings begin with a short piece of information on lionism followed by the welcoming of guests by the current "Hi Lion" greeter. After the introduction of guests we proudly pledge allegiance to the flag of our great country and reflect during the invocation.

Next Lion President Yvona does special recognition of activities for the week, gives announcements, and celebrates lions who have been in the news.

The monthly program chairperson introduces the program. Programs typically last about 20 minutes and most speakers allow ample time for questions.

Meetings adjourn promptly at 1:00 so that Lions can return to their jobs. For a list of the programs and other events, see our calendar or the current copy of our newsletter, the Amplifier.
