Eleven astute Acton CA Lions enjoyed a Hawaiian Luau Meeting Wednesday, 17 August 2011, in the Acton Community Centre. Attired in festive tropical apparel, and adorned with leis, the Lions had shredded pork, rolls, coleslaw, and skewered fruit with their tropical-style beverages as they talked with each other. The Lions feted Lions Tina Steibel and Tony Tersigni in honour of their birthdays with a delicious cake.

During the latter part of the Meeting, Lions updated attendees on Club business.

Nineteen other Lions were conspicuous by their absences. They missed out.

Acton CA Lions kicked back at a music appreciation concert Sunday, August 14, 2011 from 7 to 9 pm, after a 6 pm picnic. The Tribute Band covered a lot of tunes that many of the mostly elderly crowd remembered from as long as forty years before. Most folks passively appreciated the cool tunes that were hot when their originators first played them. During one waltz-like tune, a couple furtively danced off to one side. During another tune, a couple of women briefly danced on the grass in front ot the bandstand. A few folks walked in time to some of the tunes. About a dozen Lions attended the concert just to hang out together for a little while.
