late day bouquet

Lots of activities last weekend.

Early Friday morning, two minibuses from the Austrian Brotherhood drove more than 700 kilometers to the town.

Group photo was taken in front of City Hall in the evening.

Afterwards, there will be a dinner party and the annual chairman handover.

As usual, in order to express gratitude, the new president prepares a small gift when handing over, such as a bottle of wine to the old president, and also a bouquet of flowers to thank the old president's wife for supporting the event.

New members do not notice this detail, especially the new president is usually busy with work and rarely participates in activities.

Last year when we handed over, a kind person called to remind us an hour before the dinner. At noon on Saturday, I rushed to the flower shop to buy flowers before the business closed, so I didn't open the skylight.

Later, the husband turned himself in and told me that there were actually two or three members who informed me, but they were too busy to forget.

I was impressed, so I kept telling my husband that you must remind the new president.

The gentleman expressed embarrassment very embarrassed, and felt as if he was begging for something from others. ??

Incredible.

You can tell him whether to send it or not, he can decide for himself. But don't remind me, isn't it wrong to be criticized by some members or said behind the scenes that they don't know etiquette?

I said that this handover ceremony should be written in the president's booklet. Otherwise, who knows?

The gentleman said he could talk, but looking for opportunities, when two people are alone...

Originally, the two of them (the chairman and vice-chairman) were going to attend the conference, but the other party was too busy, so he didn't follow up after his temporary absence.

According to the bylaws, each member must be the president once.

Before becoming the president, he will also be the first and second vice presidents, as well as the director general. .

Not very suddenly, I knew it about three or four years ago.

Membership is voluntary.

To be recommended and audited.

And no more than three members can object.

It has never been clear why the new president joined the Lions club. For professional reasons, he is very busy and rarely attends.

The new president's wife also lacked interest in the event. Joined for three years, only attended once.

Although Lions clubs are all men, it is the men who organize the events. But the meeting was so complicated that it was still miserable without a woman to help.

Before becoming the president, I have to attend the event more, and I have a relationship, a little friendship, and it is my turn to organize the event, and then there will be someone to help...

Although it is said that everyone in the meeting performs their duties.

But hosting an event really needs popularity... Especially this kind of voluntary meeting, no one, no money. Come up with everything yourself.

You really can't do it without enthusiasm.

Sometimes people who were supposed to help, temporarily shirk away from something more important. Being a host is really frustrating. But still uphold the spirit of Ah Q: if you don't come, we have to have a lot of fun...

During the handover, the new president delivered a speech. Briefly describe the activities you want to do during your tenure.

Then, he thanked his wife. Said that although his wife is very busy with housework, has two adolescent children, and is active in private social interaction. But still willing to support their own office activities. Just thank her in advance.

The two have a good relationship and have a sweet smile.

Because no one reminded him, the new president did not thank the previous president and the president's wife properly.

I don't care.

Continue the activity the next day. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Lions club, the new president came with a bouquet of flowers. Think, is it for the honorable guest of honor?

Originally sent to me.

A special apology for delivering a speech at the scene, for the rude handover yesterday, and then praising the contribution I supported last year as first lady.

Ah, there must be a member running over to remind him.

Afterwards, several members' wives came to me to tsk tsk.

Said that last year, the epidemic finally eased, and we immediately held a series of activities, without delaying the business (that is, raising money and donating money), and relieved everyone's boredom.

A flower that the newcomer praises his wife before he starts doing things. ... Well, this sentence is my own brain.

Really can't blame the new president. Almost no attendance and no idea what events we had...
