Lion President Mike Norton and myself traveled to sunny Anchorage for the Mid-Winter Conference being held there. Our weather had been iffy with dense fog and flights cancelled or delayed so we were a little skeptical to begin with but arrived at the airport early enough to catch an earlier flight to Anchorage. It appears to have been a good move on our part as that was the only flight that left Juneau that day.
Here's our weekend in pictures:

Any member can attend these Lion conferences and they're so worthwhile for so many reasons. They help us grow as Lions.
This was the weekend in a nutshell. Music. Fellowship. Long days. Meeting up with old friends. Making new friends. Business meetings. Presentations. Awards. Proud moments. Connections. Laughter. Training. More music. More Fellowship.
Maybe next convention, you'll join us.
We Serve!
Lion Nancy
