Review Hughes Elementary School Flag Day –
Very successful BBQ, good support group of Lions present, kids had great fun and wrote thank you notes. Eli said he was very impressed by the kids’ great manners and good behavior. Teachers gave each class their talk about the American Flag. Lion Ray says the event was great fun. Same school has 36 families who receive food as part of our food drive; the relationship is very good.

Treasury –
Acting Treasurer Lion Al asked for Lion Bill to give over any receipts for the materials we used at Via West for the cleanup projects.

Budget meeting –
If any Lion would like to sponsor or champion a cause, please let one of the Board know or bring your request to the Budget meeting. This is likely to be a deficit year for charities. The figures will come out in the annual report. It doesn’t hurt to operate at a deficit for a couple of years, but that happened with the 2017 R4D, so we need to pick up our fundraising. We are not yet certain if we will breakeven for the Golf Tournament. Concerning the Ride4Diabetes, we need the R4D committee to understand that their efforts will significantly effect our budget and the need to aim for a breakeven of funds raised for the event. Discussion about the Perpetual Fund, which we need to let build and how we spend only the interest.

Charity Golf Tournament 2019 –

Three glaring needs for volunteers: (1) photos for any foursome at the 10th hole that doesn’t have a smart phone to take the photo. (2) We need a minimum of 2 people from 10 to 2 to man the beverage table. (3) We need Leos to come in 2 shifts, at the start of the event (about 8:00 to 10:00) and again about 2:00 to 5:00. No pizza will be supplied. Lion Kent hasn’t gotten anyone signed up yet from the Leos. Lion Liang hasn’t replied regarding the availability of the Community Leos group she has sponsored.

The numbers to date: 48 Paid golfers so far.

We still need golfers, donations (tee signs), as well as raffle and auction items. Please volunteer and recruit and request for these needs! All hands are requested to help boost this event.

The golf tournament is June 22, 2019 at Moffett Field Golf Course with a shotgun tee time of 10 AM. Lion Ray sent out the signup for volunteers to collect the donations.

Good of the Order –

Ray Gamma (will have his name on a Santa Clara park renovation) asked if we want to do a booth at the Fall Festival.

Opportunity Drawing – Lion Charlie won the prize today.
