Antelope Valley speaker wins more contests

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.

Get an appetite

Golf in the wild

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. This is such a fun event and a great way to meet new people. Get yourself a foursome, or, if you don't have one, they will get you partners. Call Dave at (530) 495-2822, Clint at (530) 495-2935 or Lee at (530) 495-2488. The cost is $25 for a round of this special golf, along with the greatest rib lunch you will ever get. Non-golfers can come and watch and enjoy lunch for $12. It is a not-to-be-missed occasion.
