What happened today at the Wichita Downtown Lions Club meeting?





Today is past presidents day where past presidents roast the current president. Wish we could have recorded all the snide remarks from the roasters but we did get a few. We usually let him have a rebuttal but today they shut him down to no rebuttal. Enjoy.
