We can use the courses wi-fi to help people charging purchases, we will need a couple of Square charging units to enable us to do that.

Lion Dagi has planted a couple of sunflowers seeds to see how they would work as part of our give away to the children. This day is to educate the children and adults on how to grow a garden. Lion Barbara has ordered membership literature from LCI so we would have it to hand out for interested individuals.

ROV – The club has been in contact with the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters (ROV) and we are set for the Los Gatos Creek supply site. Work is still being done on the courier sites as they have not been decided upon yet.

Good of the Order –

Lion Dagi suggested that we might add an additional Director to the Board in charge of the Camp Via Garden project. Lion John said he would check the clubs by-laws to see if it was okay.

Lion Joan said that the City of Cupertino was opening up the compost area at the end of March and that we might want to look at getting another truck load. She also mentioned that Rhonda Nourse the Associate Director of Advancement at Camp Via if we would like to help in a beautify project around the camp. Further discussions will be held.
