Lion Ken reported 25 Leos and CSF members are signed up to date.

Board Meeting

The Board Meeting was held at Amy’s home on Tuesday. Our club received a check from Amazon Smile for about $110 for purchases of the last six months. Everyone should review their procedures to make sure the club is getting credit for all of their purchases.

The Board is considering setting up a fund where the club would not touch the capital, only spend the interest.

Student Speaker Contest

Topic this year is “Is the Right To Privacy A Threat To Our National Security?”

We have commitments from three judges, looking for a 4th. One student signed up to date. Reminder emails have been sent out to all schools.

Need volunteers to take pictures, greet, and assist with students. See Lion Walt or Lion Dagi if you would like to help.

LCIF/ADA Bike Ride

Lion Kent reported he hopes to launch the program by January 30th. Sundar is back working on website which is near completion. Looks slick. Check it out at: http://www.ride4diabetes.org. Lion John has picked out the routes. All of the permits are in place except for CALTRANS and City of Cupertino.

Good of the Order

Project Linus: Annual blanketeering night is Thursday, February 2nd at the Odd Fellows Hall. Bring a sharp pair of scissors and a friend with a sharp pair of scissors. Last year 70 blankets were made in about 90 minutes. Any questions contact Lion Leslie.
