Ice Cream Socials, How Texans Do Business
Jimmy Ross is big news for Texas Lions; promising to “completely reinvigorate the Lions Club International.� He got a big leg up on that promise by consolidating his support-base at the Texas delegation’s Ice Cream Social tonight in Boston. With his inauguration just days away, Ross, of Quitaque, Texas, (shown here visiting with supporters)
already sounds presidential. New ideas always go down a little better with ice cream and good music, and the Cowboy Band supplied the latter with gusto.
Charging into the room with the volume turned up on full, the Band had the crowd on its feet celebrating the first Lions Club International president from Texas in grand style. With favorites like “Oh Lord, It’s Hard to Be Humble,� “Won’t You Be My Gal,� and the occasional shout to “save us some ice cream,� the Band turned the business meeting into a Texas sized pep rally.
The performance ended with the Texas state song and a request by the delegation to play at the Inaugural ceremony before the entire 12,000-member convention on the 4th. Until then, the musicians and riders are going to take some time out to enjoy the sights, sounds, tastes, and heritage of this historical city. We’ll try to follow a few and bring you their adventures. Till then, good night all!

What a riot!! Who's the 'dead cowboy'? That would be a great picture to send home to Mom and Dad. :) I bet that's a bit like you're all feeling about now. Take a well-earned rest and enjoy Boston! Do me a favor and take a picture of the harbor off Long Wharf for me. :) Oh, and don't forget that fabulous present you promised. (no t-shirts, please!) LOL
