Board Meeting Minutes: December 2019

Cupertino De Anza Lions Board Meeting: December 2019

Board Members present: Al, Jeff, Charles, Jill (no quorum)
Board meeting called to order at 6:56

Approval of minutes, last board meeting: no quorum.
Board Member/Membership Chair Vacancy, Eli has volunteered, so Jill will talk to him and the appointment would go until June 30th.
Food Drive Recap: negative 1,355.30. Lighter on cash donations and lighter on turkeys. There was no 2 for 1 on Turkeys at any of the stores, as there often is. Signage saying that we have freezer storage. 171+ families were served, which is amazing, so worth the loss. Consider budgeting more for the event for next year.
Crab Feed: working on kegs, new Fish Market contact manager is supportive, ticket sales are going very well already. January 15th is the deadline for paying for the reserved seating. Al will send out a reminder about how Crab Feed tickets are a great gift! Silent Auction is moving along. Get the volunteer list out early, hopefully by the beginning of January.
Ride 4 Diabetes Event 2020: looking for the date and potential for City of Cupertino grant application.
Fidelity Trust Documents (stock donation): the account is not difficult, and the only added work would be tax forms and that the board would have to decide when and if to sell stock. The board would need a policy about this type of donation. Tabled to 2020 because of no quorum.
Leo Communication about events and volunteering: who is coming and when and where to events? Al sent a letter about integration with ours for their 501C7, but no response.
Registrar of Voters: voting centers and couriers-one team and pick up at one location. Al will be putting teams together (teams of 2) and looking for 8 teams. It’s a significant amount of money for the club. Logistical and support trucks are also looking for staff from 8-5 that bring supplies to the voting centers. Al is going to try to work with the 4 sites in Cupertino
Student Speaker Contest: the rental agreement for the Odd Fellows Hall needs to be signed. Chairs are Dagi and Joan. Al has the insurance document.
Flag Day Presentations: anyone want to take up that cause again?

Board Meeting Adjourned: 7:28.
