Lions and Lionesses—

The Killer Crossword is an extension of the club meetings. You are not bidding on a badge or paying a fine, but using the little intelligence you have left to attempt to win a free meal. For most of us a free meal is not worth the effort, but we have enough competitive and anal members to make this online venture a success. Your name will be singled out and you will come forward to receive your money if you succeed. Further, your name will be enshrined on a large club napkin to be displayed at the Installation Night Dinner. Sudoku freaks, go count from zero to nine. We are human. We like words.

This is killer crossword time.

This month's puzzle prepares everyone with new tools for the New Year. Remember, upon board action taken in early December, any Lion who can beat Pat eats free for a month.

The First and Only Rule

Seeing that we are playing for $money$, here are the rules:

1. The first correct hard copy submission to me (TJ), either in the U.S. mail or a face-to-face presentation, prior to the solution being published in the online bulletin, gets the prize, announced as an agenda item by the prez.  Find a way, not an excuse. (Damn, I feel like I'm coaching again!)

2. There are no more rules. Whiners will be fined. If you chose to whine, you will show up in the Mane Thing De-Clawings! All decisions are Final-Final.

Good Luck!
