Mineral County Deputy Rob Smithbrought his drug sniffing dog and he and Lion Sheriff Jeremy Taylor provided some very interestinginformation 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 wasKristi 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 LionsQuest curriculum. “Lions Quest programs are comprehensive, positive youth development andprevention curricula that unite the home, school and community to cultivate capable and healthyyoung people of strong character.
