The VIA Garden was discussed again citing the need for volunteers. The receiving of the City of Cupertino, “Volunteer of the Year” Crest Award, to Lion Joan Chin was also acknowledged. Official presentation on 10/14/2021 at 5:30 PM in the City Hall Plaza.

Preparation for the Annual Food Drive continues, former DeAnza Lion Mike Martin has agreed to come down from the Reno NV area to perform his perennial duties as “Refer Truck Driver.” Solicitation this year is planned to be a combination of our last year Covid-19 effort and our traditional (begging for food) store front solicitation.

Preparation for our Annual Charity Crab Feed has also begun. The facility for 2/5/2022 is being solidified, reestablishing contacts, and soliciting for Raffle and Silent Auction items is not too early. Again, like the Food Drive, volunteers needed.

The DeAnza Lions Club received from the Lions Clubs International Foundation a banner patch and letter acknowledging their contributions as “Over $100.00 per Member” for 2020-2021 fiscal year. Supporting critical humanitarian needs in 208 countries around the world.

Meeting adjourned at 7:12 PM.
