“If I had a World of my own, everything would be nonsense!”
Alice surely gives us many “quotable” moments throughout her journey in Wonderland. How very fitting, then, that we Mendon Lions hosted the 2020 MidWinter Conference, under the direction of our Governor, *Flower~Lady* Colleen Oncay!!
Not only were the decorations *MAGiCAL*, but the way the entire Weekend was facilitated ~ WoW!! One of the special parts of it was the attention to mindfulness&meditation with marvelous MarshashanaYoGa ~

Far too often, we are bombarded with stories of the
"Younger-Generation" disrespecting law-enforcement officers and/or members of our military. Goodness-Gracious did these teens prove those stories wrong!!
We listened to well articulated points-of-view from four students within our District. Honestly, I thought each one of them earned "1st-Place"!!
"Lions don't have to roar. There is power in silence, confidence, and persistence. Those who work don't talk, and those who talk don't work... Focus your time, energy, and activity on mastering and executing a plan!"
