3. Charter Night 2019, 50 Years of De Anza Lionism, Sp. Guest PDG Lion Liz Crooke: at the Blue Pheasant, Lion Ray is working on a program. Keep an eye out for emails for signing up.
4. Recap! Student Speaker Contest 2019: Lion Andrea recapped, 3 students from Homestead and Lynbrook and Fremont. Students were all female and amazing. The topic was “Freedom of the Press: What does it mean and Why Does it Matter”. 3 judges enjoyed so much that they want to come back next year. Dagi and Joan organized and everything went great.
5. Cupertino Community Leos Club, Richard Cao, Prez; (Lion Liang): confirmed and approved. Lion Claire became co-advisor and gave us a recap of how they are starting off and guiding them in what they could do to support the Lions.
6. “Helping those in our midst…” – Ms. Marisol Durani. Works for the county of the Dept. of Ed. She wants to let us know how we can support the Dept. of Ed. We have donated some clothes, shoes, and jackets and Marisol came to thank us.
7. Crab Feed 2019 – Lion Carl, Any Lion Sign UP, please! We need 11 people in the kitchen each shift, and right now we only 4 and 5. Jeff reached out to Dave Zirkel, but didn’t hear back. Dave Zirkel is in for treasury chest and will be there to help prep at the church. The biggest new deal is the permit stuff. Carl is the point person for this. The biggest thing is “workers”: anyone who is serving or handling food. Good hygiene is emphasized (watches, jewelry, fake nails, etc.). Hair must be pulled back. Carl and Jenni will bring gloves and hair ties. Al is doing produce order. Ron said the “cash and carry” is done. First seating is full, and second seating is close. How is the storage stuff getting to the church? In the past we rented a box truck, AND the Refridge truck. Eli will rent a U-haul truck with Jeff’s guidance for the storage stuff. Get how many canopies? Bring five if we have the space. This truck will go there on Friday and get the stuff. All items should arrive by 11:00 on Saturday at church. The round tables and chairs will already be out. There is a certain area we can’t park, but it’s blocked off, so we don’t need a parking person. Garbage duty is not filled, which is moving the trash out to the big bin. We were reminded to recycle by Dagi. Where are the sternos for the chafing dishes? We will need 24 and Ray will get some. Carl will get thermometers for each station, which will be about 8 or 10. What are table leads? Someone who help the Leos, or whoever is in charge of a table (we usually have one Leo per table) , when the Leos don’t know where to get what, etc. Since we don’t know how many Leos usually sign up versus how many actually show up, we are currently low on Leos. Raffle update from Steve. Sheets will go on each table, describing the different ways to give money: raffle, treasure box, cash “dutch” raffle, silent auction. Lion Liang was going to bring in the pizza for the Leos, so we are hoping she will still do this. Lion Jim-he appreciates that we stay true to ourselves. Lion Jen Smith is now in charge of the outdoor kitchen. Finally, we need people for 10-11:30 Saturday night and Sunday morning clean up at 9:00 at Steve’s house. Work party at Lion Steve and Ellen’s at 5:30.
8. Good of the Pride, Any Lion:
Board Request: As soon as the Crab Feed is over, we are going to be recruiting Board Members. Treasurer is seemingly up in the air, and the treasurer keeps coming back out of the goodness of their own hearts, but we are allowed to hire a CPA (hopefully, at a discount) for an audit required by bylaws, to clarify donation laws, and even who could perform our treasury duties. If any one has a personal or professional contact for a CPA, pass that onto the board.
