Greetings Fellow Lions,
Our first meeting of February was held on Thursday, February 7th at 6:30 pm at University Place on
the campus of Potomac State College. We had a very unique program. Mineral County Deputy Rob Smith
brought his drug sniffing dog and he and Lion Sheriff Jeremy Taylor provided some very interesting
information about the dog and its exploits. Check out the picture on the Keyser Lions Facebook page.
Our second meeting took place on February 21st at the same time and place. Our guest speaker was
Kristi Athey. She gave a fascinating presentation on the history of the RMS Titanic and her voy-
age along the Titanic’s path to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking.
On Monday, February 25th over 80 teachers from Mineral County were given training on the Lions
Quest curriculum. “Lions Quest programs are comprehensive, positive youth development and
prevention curricula that unite the home, school and community to cultivate capable and healthy
young people of strong character. Lions Quest K-12 programs teach essential life skills that support
character development, social and emotional learning, civic values, substance and violence pre-
vention, and service-learning.” (http://www.lions-quest.org/) Members of the Keyser Lions Club
provided financial and logistical support to this all day event. Lions Dallas Adams, Sandy Parker,
and Gary Van Horn have been working hard to bring this program to Mineral County. Thanks to all
of our Keyser Lions who came out and supported this event including: Greg Lynch, Jim McCune,
Dave Boden, Larry Bolyard, John Cole, Joe Bane, Duwain Nichols, Scott Gahr, and Mark Conrad.
Our first meeting of March will take place on the 7th at 6:30 pm at University Place on the cam-
pus of Potomac State College. Our guest speaker will be Louie Kitzmiller. He will talk about the
work of Mineral County Aging and Family Services. Our second meeting of March will take place
on the 21st at the same time and place and will feature a speaker from Big Brothers, Big Sisters.
