BIG THANKS to the Lions sharing pictures from the 2021 District 26M1 Convention! Seeing all of the things this year's Special Guest, International Director Lion Billy J. "B.J." Blankenship can do, have to wonder if he can do this AND pay the Tail Twister at the same time!

District Governor Lion Scott Sattler and Lion Teresa Grebing of the Perryville Lions Club welcome all of the guests to the 2021 District 26M1 Convention. The Perryville Lions do an incredible job once again! There is a lot of work that happens leading up to, as well as right before the event.

Speaking of Tail Twisters, our friend PDG Lion John Preston of the Patton Lions agrees to take the reins and we are able to send $357 to LCIF! BTW, there will be an official announcement of monies from LCIF coming into District 26M1 soon!

Yes, we have a winner for the 2021 District 26M1 Peace Poster, the prize going to Rachel Lichtenegger, sponsored by the East Perry County Lions Club. CONGRATULATIONS Rachel for the wonderful work you've created!

2021 District 26M1 Convention Special Guest, International Director Lion Billy J. "B.J." Blankenship, introduced by Past International Director Lion Don Noland, shares wonderful stories with the guests following a delicious luncheon. International Director Blankenship hails from Lafayette, Tennessee, is a veteran of the National Guard. Many attendees were impressed how personable ID Lion Blankenship is.

His wife, Lion Carolyn thanked the Lions for a wonderful time as she shared a talk, "Retention Through The Eyes of a Child"
