Lion Al said he would send out the Voter Registration participants schedule for training.

Lion Eli said the Career Day at Buscher Middle School had the largest number of presenters to attend. It was a very successful event.

There was a discussion about the number of canopies that our club has since we currently only have four in storage and we should have at least 12. Lion Ray said he would send out an email asking club members if they had any.

Lion John Noone asked about the Club Survey that he sent out and several club members said they were not able to fill it out on line. Lion John handed out hard copies to those who could not fill it out on line.
