Lions Craft Show News:

This was a note we received from the Lions following their annual craft show at SJHS this past weekend.

Just wanted to thank you.  The students that helped us at the Lions Craft Show this past weekend were some of the best that we've ever had.  They were attentive, focused, courteous, and efficient.  With their assistance, we we're able to have all crafters moved out of the field house by 5:45 pm, and the tarps rolled up / put away by 6:40 pm.

A big "thank you" for getting the word out to the coaches and teachers on behalf of the Lions.  These students were awesome!  Thank you again.

Regards,

Lion Tom Hanley
