Board Meeting Minutes for 06.23.2015

Board Meeting

7:30 pm, June 23, 2015

Knox Compound, 217 N Milton Ave, Campbell

Members present: Lion Pres Jeff, Lions Al, Bill, Vijay, Steve, Bernie, Ray, and Walt.

Financial Review: Golf Tournament

–       Tournament netted $20,054.35 about $3,000 more than last year.

–       The course was in much better shape than last year. Lion Vijay suggested it was a good time to lock it up for next year.

–       Need to have a post-mortem. Though very successful financially, the food was in need of improvement. It was suggested we offer to pay Moffett Field a fee for the food but then provide our own vendor. Outback is willing to donate the food.

–        Some of the other complaints: beer charges were high, the carts were not charged and ready in a timely manner, awards need to be passed out in a more timely manner.

AJ Robinson

–       We agreed to pay $195 for the use of the AJ Robinson van to staff the Fall Silicon Valley event at the Cupertino Memorial Park on Saturday September 12th. Lion Ray said we should probably donate a few extra dollars because we use their collision insurance when we rent a refrigerator truck for the Crab Feed.

–       It is estimated we will need 10 Lions and some Leos to staff the van in 3-hour shifts.

–       We will invite a board member from AJ Robinson to a PM meeting to show how the equipment works.

Eagle Scout Project

–       A Life Scout from troop #494 wants to team up with our club on a project to earn his Eagle Scout badge. Wants to set up a program to collect old eye glasses. We can provide collection boxes and literature.

Forward Edge Project

–       Claire Kalia has a friend/teacher who is going to Nicaragua to help setup and help out in a home rescue center. Needs some financial help. We agreed to donate $250. More information of the program is available at forwardedge.org

Cupertino High School Debate Team

–       Club is looking for donations. Since our Speech Contest is open to all students in the Fremont Union High School District, we decided against giving them any money. We don’t want to provide any school or club an advantage over other schools and clubs that participate.

The following meeting/party dates were established:

–       Budget Meeting, 7:00 – 9:00 pm on July 16th at Knox home.

–       Tail Twister and Installation Party, August 8th.
