Guests present: Speaker Kris Knutson. Students from LHS: Carolina Isidro and Steven Fukui (parents Ron and Suzanne) and LHS counselor Robyn Court.

Joann Hilton and Paul Radcliffe gave very touching memories to honor the passing of Moonie King.

Alan provided many laughs with his Poem of 911.Particularly the 912 call from the woman saying her Mom was on the clothes line. Literally.

Guest Speaker Kris Knutson
Kris Knutson was introduced by Greg Kevin, saying that Kris is a retired educator of thirty years. He spent 22 years educating the students of Lincoln and after retiring from teaching and being a principal, he became very involved in the Lincoln Community. He is a Lion's Club President as well as the President of the Lincoln Community Foundation.
 
Kris began his discussion by saying that "People of Lincoln care about the People in Lincoln". He gave examples of how the service clubs, the schools and individuals serve the community.
 
Kris continued by sharing the timeline of the Lion's Club, that lead to what is now an annual Christmas program that serves 600+ families, providing toys in partnership with the Marine's Toys4Tots program, and partnership with Salt Mine that provides food to the families receiving a "Christmas Basket". The Lion's Club continues to participate with the Police program PALS for Christmas shopping for gifts for the children to buy for their families. It seems that these children often refuse to buy anything for themselves.
