Our Kind of People: One of the oldest traditions of the Lions Club is the "fine," which is collected in a chamber pot called a tail-twister kitty. Members are fined if they goof up by not wearing Lions pins, talking while the president is talking, interfering with the general meeting, advertising their place of business or by being late. We are a civic organization. Our motto is "We Serve." Service is the rent we pay for the space we occupy. Livermore, California, 1969–1975. Bill Owens (American, b. 1938). Gelatin silver print; image: 16 x 21.5 cm (6 5/16 x 8 7/16 in.); paper: 20.2 x 25.2 cm (7 15/16 x 9 15/16 in.). The Cleveland Museum of Art, Gift of George Stephanopoulos 2020.316
