A visit from District leaders was in store when the Payson Lions met earlier this month for the club’s ninety-first charter night.  District 28 T Governor Craig Rasmussen, Milton Taylor and wife, Jo Taylor, and James Adams, District Zone Chair 28T, and wife, Cathy Adams shared in the evening’s meal, discussion, and live entertainment.

“I love the Payson Club,” Mr. Rasmussen remarked that night. “I like being here.  God bless and Godspeed in all you do.”

Among district leaders sharing in the occasion of welcoming new members to the local charter was Payson’s own Lions Club President, Rhett Huff.  He assumed an additional position with Lions Club International this year, having been elected to serve as 2nd Vice District Governor for Utah’s District 28 T.

Entertainment that evening came compliments of two musical families, whose participation in recent Payson Lions’ fundraiser, A Little Night Music, has made them well known among club members, as well as admired for their talent.  Vocalist Craig Gardner, whose lovely wife Yvette Gardner’s presence added cheer to the event, along with Perry and Clarissa Ewell and the couple’s son, Jesse Ewell, delighted club members with song.
