PM Meeting Review –
Election Day Volunteers- The club raised approximately $2,000 which is about half our administrative budget. Volunteers will be needed for Election Day in November so hopefully we can raise more funds at that time.

LCI Convention – Lion Eli, Mort, and Ray attended the LCI convention in Las Vegas. Lion Mort said It was amazing to see the world-wide international effects of Lionism. Lions Mort and Ray participated in the Lions Parade which included representatives from all over the world.

The 31s t Annual De Anza Lions Charity Golf Classic – The club made approximately $12, 000. This was a good event even though we had fewer golfers. Moffett has enjoyed having us and want us to continue coming for our tourney. Lion Mike Ringer will be the chair and we are looking at different dates in June for the tournament.

R4D 2018 Update – There were no R4D committee member in attendance to review what progress has been accomplished. They have some people signed up, but Lion John has mentioned we need to get the word out through social media and other avenues to get people signed up. The board has asked to have a representative at the board meeting next week for an update. Now that the golf tournament is over the club needs to support R4D.

Tail Twister Party – We usually have a tail twister party and the installation at the same time. We are looking at sometime in September after R4D.

Good of the Order – Lion Ray said that Lion Linda Sanders is going to chair Flag Day presentations. We need other volunteers to co-chair the Crab Feed along with Lion Carl. Lion Mike Ringer said he would chair the golf tournament.

Lion Claire inducted some new members in the Montgomery Village Lions club, including Lion John Smith (our former esteemed President) as the President of the Santa Rosa Lions club.
Lion John Noone asked about having a Lions emblem put on the “Welcome to Cupertino” sign. Everyone thought it was a great idea. Lion John and Lion Joan said they would approach the mayor about the sign.

Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations to winner Lion John Noone.
