— AGENDA —  

 

Board Meeting begins with Lion Jeff leading at 6:35

1. Golf Date and Co-Chair, 2019: Mike Ringer (new golf chair), who agreed to take this over with a co-chair.  What/how does Mike want it to be divided? Interaction with Moffett and interaction with golfers.  Looking at the volunteer document may help to divide it up. Still no date has been set for sure as the co-chair is up in the air.  Currently, reserved for June 22nd as some of our sponsors are available. However, Mike R. is not available on the 22nd, so we have to table the golf date until we are able to speak with Mike R. and find a co-chair.

2. PLAN FOR Installation of Board, 2018-2019: Lion John Smith to come down to install at the Sept. PM meeting, rather than the tailtwister meeting.

3. Ride 4 Diabetes 2018 Update (Lion John): 2 months behind, the budget is stalled because there are so few riders (currently spent about 3,000).  New committee position is “Publicity”with new duties but nobody has been assigned. If it gets rescheduled minimal money will be lost with most able to be carried over. The Ride committee is considering moving the date to the Spring or cancelling the event. The root cause from John’s perspective is that there has not been enough work put into it so far.  Part of it also might be that it isn’t very “fun” sounding: possibly changing the name and the route. Discussion around dates is that the spring is proposed by the committee, but currently the spring would make the first 6 months filled with three major activities: Crab Feed, Ride, and then Golf.  Because the date for golf isn’t set in stone, the board can’t approve a move to the spring. Suggestion is made to have the Ride committee put it off for one year. The ride committee wants to have the date in spring (late April or early May). Concern for changing the date and if the committee chairs are not fully involved.  If we do change the date, and give the money back, and then we need to change the language to show a majority of the money would go to diabetes (51%) and then the rest of it can go to the club?
4. A Request from Lion Linda Sanders (Lion Jeff): asking for money to send boxes to vets through her church.  Vijay says that funds from the charity should not be used for religious organization because it jeopardizes the Apple Benivity.  The money would go directly to a church, which is a problem. The board cannot approve this endeavor.

5. A Donation for Vets (Lion Ray): Was there a line item for veteran (Fisher House).

 

Motion from Ray:  500.00 for Fisher House for 1,000 Wreaths Across America out of nondiscretionary. Seconded by Claire. Further Discussion: none. Unanomously approved.
      
6. Good of the Pride, Any Lion:

 

  • Jill:  has Mary dropped as a member? I will drop her from the LCIF.
  • Claire: Project Linus is in John’s hands, and Claire is happy to help out.  This event will probably be in the fall.
  • Steve: Crab Feed front of the house summary.  He will consult Jim and create a timeline.
  • Ray:  AJ Robinson van, the insurance went up for this van (based on donations from 4C6).  Why? Because of the professional judgement. The question being that do we have insurance through the Lions club.  Jeff thinks we are covered under LCI.
  • Jeff: check out his email about the school in India and the pictures.
