Leo’s Club – Lion Kent and Lion Prez Ray met with the Leo’s advisor and Lion Kent met with 5 of the students from the club and will meet with the remaining members next week.  They are considering focusing on vision as their mission.  The club will meet weekly and are actively recruiting additional members.  The charter fee for the club will be paid by our club.  The club is considering the purchase of the club banner and T-shirts.  The Leo’s are looking for service hours and will work on some ideas for projects.  It was suggested getting the Leo’s club involved in Relay for Life.

Meeting with the Rotary Club – Lion John and Lion Jim met with members of the Rotary to introduce them to the data compiled by Lion John regarding the hours vs. profits performed during the past Crab Feed.  They received the information openly and will go back to their club and present the incentive scheme.  This will equal the amount of profits generated with the hours worked per club.  This is an incentive to participate equally.  Also discussed the possibility of raising the cost of the crab feed an additional $5 for next year.  The Rotary would also like to have first opportunity to sign up on the volunteer assignment sheet next year.  The Rotary club has only 10 active members.

Menlo Park Veteran’s Hospital – They are building a new building and need volunteers to help move the Vet’s over to the new building.  Need 21 -24 people to help next Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:00 – Noon. Orientation will be at 7:45 a.m. Please let Lion Prez Ray know if you are able to volunteer.  Lunch will be provided.

Community Outreach – Have approx. 10 students in need of eye exam.  Lion Kerry will have the process out to the Board today for approval and then after approval we can begin the application process.  Eye glasses were delivered last week to the warehouse.  Lion Kathy and Lion Steve will be designing new boxes for the glasses to be collected.

Golf Tournament – Lion Eli printed up a major sponsor folder and will bring to the next golf meeting on April 7^th at 5:30 at the Round Table, please let Lion Eli know in advance that you want one.  Please start thinking of contacts for playing or sponsorships collect names and email address.
