PM Meeting Review – (Unofficial)
Lion Carl talked about Lion Eli being inducted into the San Francisco University Football Hall Of Fame on Saturday December 4, 2021.
Food Drive -Unofficial numbers for the Food Drive. Currently we have $2,500 net surplus. We had two individuals donate one thousand dollars each to the food drive. Estimated figures show that the club donated approximately fourteen thousand dollars worth of food to 220 needy families in the Cupertino, San Jose, and Santa Clara areas and the farm workers in the Watsonville area. According to our estimate we fed approximately one thousand needy individuals. The club was blessed with all the individuals that donated food and cash to help those in need. Also we want to thank all of the volunteers, both Lions and friends of Lions that helped with the food drive it would not be a successful event without your hard work. Lion John and Lion Al will work on an article to send to Lions Clubs International about our successful project.
Crab Feed – It was proposed that we keep the price the same as we have had in the past. Due to the CDC Covid guidelines we are limiting the seating to 200 people at each seating. We need to start selling tickets now. A list of raffle donators from the past will be sent out so we can start soliciting donations from them and any other businesses that you are a regular at. Lion Steve said he checked with the church and they would require proof of vaccination and masks at the crab feed.
Camp Via West – Lion Dagi said that Lion Joan is currently on vacation. We are currently doing some harvesting and Lion Dagi is checking on the watering situation.
Golf Tournament – We need to start checking out venues for the annual golf tournament. We are looking at the time frame of June 18th or June 25th, 2022. A list of courses will be sent out so that anyone can contact them and get and get info on holding a tournament at their course.
