Dictionaries Delivered to Third Graders in Rainier

Hi Gang ,

Linda and I went to Rainier Elementary & Eagle View Christian School and passed out our dictionaries to 79 third graders. I know that some of you were unable to attend because of life issues.

I have to tell you that you missed one of life’s absolute fine moments. The reaction in the students eyes was worth more than any amount of money. It was a moment akin to Haley’s comment, an event that only happens once or twice in a lifetime.

The dictionaries are one of the fun things we do with the money we work so hard earn with our fundraisers. Events like giving out the dictionaries are the precious rewards of being a member of the Rainier Lions Club.  Most of us have too few of these kinds of rewards in life.

Helping with the sight and hearing van is another rewarding experience, but that may not happen this year because of a scheduling problem.

We need to be about making a difference in our community. I do believe that there are people in town ready to help us make our town a better place to live.  Please come out and help lead them.

Thanks,

George

       Thank you for inviting us to your school!

Students talking about the things they find just before presentation closes.  They thank us an and say a prayer before we conclude.  Very nice indeed!

King Lion George asked the students:  There's a million, a billion and then a trillion.  What comes after a trillion?   The students answer, "a quadrillion."  We were very impressed.  We didn't know that answer until we found it in the dictionary before the presentation.  Even third graders are smarter then we are!

GO KIDS!!!
