Jeanne Wood Dear Lions, I am sorry to report to you that our good friend, Jeanne Wood, of the Harbor City / Lomita Lions Club has become very ill, and could really use the prayers and good wishes of every one of us. Jeanne has served as President of the Harbor City / Lomita Lions Club and is presently the District Zone Chairperson. Jeanne is the widow of Lion Jack Wood. She and Jack were very active in their Lions Club and since Jack's death, a few years ago; Jeanne has remained active and has been an irreplaceable member of the Downhill Race Committee. She is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We all hope to see Jeanne back with us soon. P.D.G. Eddie Keyse Multiple District Four Convention This years Multiple District Four (MD-4) Convention, February 11 thru 13, 2005, will be held at San Diego's Town and Country Hotel. I am hoping that we can get several members and their partners to attend along with Chris and I. In past years we always had good attendance at these conventions, but not lately. You, as Lions, can learn a lot about your organization and at the same time have a lot of fun. The San Pedro Lions Club will pay your registration fee, see the attached sheets. For more information about the convention, please feel free to give me a call. P.D.G. Eddie Keyse Holiday Party This years San Pedro Lions Club Holiday Party was a great success! Everyone who attended had a wonderful time, sharing fellowship, fun, food, gifts and holiday cheer. Lions Chris and Eddie Keyse cooked and served an excellent dinner. The Keyse home was beautifully decorated in a very festive holiday motif that was enjoyed by all. Thank you Eddie and Chris for your hospitality and hosting another great Holiday Party this year! Of the many Holiday Parties you have had at your home, this was the best! From the President's Computer HAVE A PEACEFUL AND JOYOUS CHRISTMAS!! .
