Members of the Stanton Lions Club held their annual Christmas party and gift exchange on Dec. 17, at the home of new President Dr. Gene Wilkins and newest member, wife Lee Wilkins. Nearly 25 were in attendance and the gift exchange was swift, with all sorts of gifts being unwrapped, stolen twice and then declared "safe," amidst lots of laughs and smiles. Pausing for a photo opportunity from left are Malia Ronquillo, Angie Ronquillo, Sheryll Seymour, Lion Tamer Fran Daigle, Secretary David Parikh, Milt Blumenthal, 2nd Vice President Isabelle Parikh, President Dr. Gene Wilkins, Lee Wilkins, Tail Twister/Stanton Mayor Al Ethans, wife Mavis Ethans, John McShane, Treasurer Pam Schoonover, husband Ken Schoonover and Kevin Sticht.
