In the absence of Lion Prez Jeff and Lion Carl, Lion Amy presided over the Board.

  1. Fiscal Review – Crab Feed: Lion Al presented the 2016 Annual Crab Feed Budget Performance Review to the Board. The Board passed it as presented. Cupertino DeAnza Lions share of the net profit was $7,778.03. The Board then discussed whether our club should partner again with Sunnyvale Sunrise Rotary Club or prefer to go it alone next year. One of the primary concerns of going it alone was whether we have the personal to handle all of the tasks.
  1. Mobile Credit Card Acceptance – Lion Al presented information to the Board on two of the mobile credit card plans, First Data and PayPal. The question was asked whether or not it was worth buying into one of the systems. It was decided it would be a good idea to be able to use a mobile credit card system for both the Crab Feed and Golf Tournament and it could be used to pay Lions quarterly dues. No decision was made although the Board liked the idea.
  1. Golf Tournament – The tournament will be on June 18th at Moffett Field. A planning meeting is scheduled for next Tuesday, February 23rd at 4:30 pm. It will be at Lion Amy’s home, 1953 Bohannon Dr in Santa Clara. Please let her know if you would like to attend. The question came up as to why we cannot provide the beer. She said it is an insurance issue; people are worried about consumption.
  1. Saratoga Lions – Lion Al said at one time he discussed with the Saratoga Lions their fundraising programs. They told him they do a solicitation from the local merchants and were able to raise $25,000 – $27,000. Something for us to consider.
  1. Camp Via – Lion Amy mentioned a high special needs 8th grader from a family with a high special needs father told her how special it was to be able to attend Camp Via. The Board thought it might be nice to pay the way for a deserving student in the future if the situation arises.
