Our last meeting of the Lions year, June 18th and we had a few nice things happen.

Lion Karen Routson, PDG did the installation of officers again. Third or fourth time I think.

New Board was installed.

We awarded two Melvin Jones Fellowship Awards. Lion Betty Smith recieved hers first and was quite surprised. Lion Randy Maiville was second and was very grateful as well. Both deserved the recognition, when the MJF Committee voted almost everyone voted for both.

The big suprise of the night is that Lion Deb Rosebush, has recently moved to south Lansing expressed a desire to join our Club. With good luck and Lions that knew how the system works we got her transfered and she is now A Holt Lions Club member. Welcome Deb and welcome aboard.

On April 2, 2026 tthe Holt Lions Club had a fun meeting. Packed full of activities and chaos.

We had a busy night planned and last minute changes added to the activities. Most our our meetings run a a pretty regular pattern, but one of our guests had to leave early for another committment.

Lion Dowdy our 1st Vice President ran the meeting for his first time, President Kelly had to be at another event. Then we moved into having our Program immediately.

We started early before dinner because our other activities. Our DG Alteta Cozart started off doing the induction of two new members. First was new Lion Kimberly Brown and then Lenore Osburn. DG Aleta kept the inductions short and sweet and the new members were greeted by our tradition of having all members of the Club line up to introduce themselves and shake hands. Of course pictures were taken and then New Lion Kimberly was excused to attend another event.

Since dinner orders had been placed but no food had been served, of program speaker for the evening was OK to start her program.

Micki O'Neal from the Inghan ISD (Intermediate School District) started her program of what the Ingham ISD is, how long it's been doing it and what the Special Election being held is about. The election asks for a millage to pay for new building and other items. We learned a lot and found out the need for replacing the Beekmen Center Building. The Beekmen Center is a special education school that serves Ingham County, that includes the Lansing School District and several others in the mid-michigan area. You can look up the Ingham ISD at ( https://www.inghamisd.org/ ).

Micki did a great job of explain a complex situation and answering questions in a short time. She even stuck around for the rest of our meeting. She even ended up winning one of the two 50/50 drawings at the end of the night. She was very gracious when she donated her winnings back to the Club.

The pictures don't really show how lively the meeting got at some times.

Next general Club meeting is May 7, 2026 starting at 6:00 PM for social time and Dinner at 6:30 PM, if you are interested Lions you are welcome to attend.
