Lion Al said the Registrar of Voters is having a hard time getting volunteers.

BBQ – Lion Al said set-up will start at 2:30 PM. The food committee is ready to go. At this time we have 40 people with walkups welcome. So far ticket sales are approximately 50% non lions and 50% Lions. Hot Dogs and Hamburgers are being served (Regular and Vegetarian).

Camp Via West – Lion Joan wanted to thank Lion John and Lion Ray for all the help they have been providing. Lion Joan said the garden is producing well and she harvested approximately 20lbs of tomatoes and squash. Lion Joan said that children from a school (K-8th) will be staying at the Camp starting Monday and
they would like to help out in the garden. There will be between 10 -12 kids each day from Monday thru Thursday to help in the garden. Lion Joan says she and the garden miss Lion Dagi tremendously and can’t wait for her return. There was a discussion on how the Lions would like to thank the Camp Via manager Rick for all he has done to support us. Rick is probably going to retire sometime in the near future and the Lions would like to give him a gift for all his support.

Good of the Order –

Lion Al wanted to thank Lion Dagi for her help with setting up PayPal on our website for the BBQ even though she is in Germany.
Lion Dagi would like some updated information on the charities we support for her new article on our website. Lion Al said he would send her a PDF file of them later today. Lion Dagi said she would also like some info and pictures of the installation of officers for an article on the website.
