Six of the newest members of our Club treated us to a session of “Truth or Lies.” One out of three statements they presented to us were not true, and the club needed to figure out which one was not true.

The audience was allowed to ask questions and then we decided which statements were not true and scored ourselves. PP Loretta Rowe and PP Don Zillman both got 4 out of 6 correct, so we had a "Lie-off" for the prize. Don and Loretta made one false and one true statement.
Don Zillman - He lived 11 years in Utah. He has always been a Wisconsin Badger football fan.
Loretta Rowe - She has been married twice. She used to live in Canada.
The club was equally split on determining which was true for Don and Loretta, so it was declared to be a tie.
Remember, many statements listed above are not true. If you were not at the meeting, you need to ask each person which statements are not true. It was a fun time.The club was equally split on determining which was true for Don and Loretta, so it was declared to be a tie.
