Welcome address was delivered by President Lion Nuñez after which an obituary for past chartered members and a salute to existing chartered members was offered. The love for Lionism, dedication, and hard work of both past and present chartered members was honored. Chartered members included Adolfo Ayuso Jr., Alfredito Alamilla, Miguelito Alamilla, Octavio Alamilla, Wilfredo Alamilla, Gustavo Arceo, Liborio Azueta, Eduardo Brown, Norman Eiley, Allan Forman, Gilberto Gomez Jr., Gil Gonzalez, Jose Gonzalez, Samuel Gonzalez, Baldemar Graniel, Pedro Graniel, Abel Guerrero, Ovidio Guerrero, George Kumul, Edilberto Marin, Gonzalo Muñoz, Reynaldo Muñoz Jr., Alberto Nuñez, Angel Nuñez, Ramon Nuñez, Wilfrido Nuñez Jr., Felipe Paz, Tomas Paz, Leonel Reyes, Eiden Salazar, Pedro Salazar, Reynaldo Squires, Fernando Trejo Sr. and Francisco Verde.

After the Vote of Thanks by Past San Pedro Lions Queen Delcie Graniel, and a performance by her along with Gerry Badillo of Take the Lead, everyone enjoyed a delicious Turkey dinner.
