Tail Twister – Tail Twister Herb received a Happy Dollar from Eli for the good PM meeting last night. Happy dollars were given by many members for a good start to the New Year.

Crab Feed – Lion Ray said Lion Carl sent out a Google Doc sign up sheet and reminded all Lions to sign up for different areas to volunteer for the crab feed. Lion Al said we have sold 160 tickets for the 1st seating and 70 for the second seating. Lion Steve said we currently have $5,576 in donations with more to come. Lion Eli talked about either renting a U-Haul truck or trailer for the crab feed. He said the trailer would require a pickup truck larger than his to pull it and would cost approximately $60, to rent a inclosed truck the cost would be about $150. Lion Eli said he would check with Lion Carl to see if the jockey box needs to be cleaned or not. Lion Ron will check to see if the CO2 tanks need to be refilled. Lion John Noone said he needs a table for membership drive. Lion Steve said there will be a packing party at his home on February 1, 2018 at 5:30 PM with food and drink provided. Lion Bill said the liquor licensee for the crab feed is in process.

Student Speaker Contest – A reminder that the Student Speaker contest will be Thursday February 8, 2018 at the Odd Fellows Hall in Cupertino. Volunteers are still needed. Contact Lion Dagi for further information.

Good of the Order –

Lion Ray asked Lion John Noone to check on the new google list serve to make sure all members and especially the new members are getting club emails.

Lion Eli talked about the new members and how they are participating. There are three new members helping with the crab feed at this time. He is hoping that some will volunteer to help out with the bike ride so we can continue that fund raiser as it seemed to help bring the city of Cupertino and our club some deserving attention.

Lion Ray said Lion Prez Jeff will send out an email to vote on one of two dates for our annual Charter Night dinner. This is to celebrate our 49th year as a club.

Lion Ray reminded everyone that the Board Meeting time has been changed to 6:30 PM.
