The newly formed Lion's Club met at the Planing Hotel in Cheyenne for its first luncheon. President J. Walton faced a moment of tension when the hostilities surrounding founder D. C. Barkdale's role appeared to derail the meeting. Despite the scare, M. B. Sehack from Denver spoke on America’s resolve and the club's mission to aid in home defense and future reorganization. New officers included J. Welton as president and D. C. Barkdale as secretary, with several directors elected and a weekly luncheon set for Thursdays at 12 noon. Additional members from business and professions joined, expanding the group’s ranks.
