The discussion regarding the Family BBQ Party which had thirty-three (33) in attendance and netted approximately five hundred dollars for charity drew the following consensus.

Any future projects of this nature must undergo an in-depth discussion of venue and County Health Department regulations.

A discussion prior to the above resolution was had regarding the Registrar of Voters (ROV) and our volunteers. Eleven Lions and one spouse raised approximately $6,125.00 for the Cupertino DeAnza Lions Club.

A discussion was had regarding advanced preparations for the Thanksgiving Food Drive. The contract with the IOOF Hall has been signed and the Insurance documents received. Arrangements are in the works for the Refer Truck rental. As of now it appears collections of food will be allowed.

A brief discussion and some action will be taken regarding a venue for the Annual Golf Classic.

Currently 13 of our members have their dues current, 15 members have dues paid in advance and $1500.00 is in arrears. Lion President indicated he will be taking some action since we continue to pay bi-annual dues for all members regardless of their payment status. If you have questions about your dues you may contact Lion Al by phone, email or text.

Meeting adjourned 1938 hours.
