Reno Probert of Eastern Sierra Academy, the winner of our district's recent Lion's Club speaker's contest, went on to the zone competition and won out over students from larger schools to move on to the regional finals. As I had said a few weeks ago, he is an impressive young speaker at only 15 years old. His speech in the district competition was great, but I have heard that he power-tuned it for the next level and was even better. Congratulations to Reno and we're rooting for you at the regionals.

An annual tradition is happening Saturday, April 5. The Antelope Valley Lions Club's Cow Pasture Golf Tournament will take place at the Baldo Giorgi ranch on Topaz Lane.
