President’s Message – Mar 2017
“Not above you, not beneath you, but with you!” We say these words, together, at the beginning of each meeting. These words are the essence of what it means to be a Lion. It succinctly condenses our Code of Ethics (highlighted in the sidebar) into 9 simple words. This is not to say that everything will go perfectly and our efforts will never go awry.

What’s So Great About the Easton Lions Club
By Marion Wingfield: Full confession, I write as a relatively recent member of the Easton Lions Club, where I serve as a liaison between it and the Ames Free Library.
