Crab Feed – Lion Ray said he had not talked Eli since Lion Eli was supposed to talk with the Rotarians.  There still is some concern about the participation of the Rotarians and their commitment.  Lion Steve said we need to make a final decision by the end of the month as he will need to make his auction donation requests.  Lion Ray said he sent the request to the church to reserve the hall but he has not heard back from them yet.  There was a discussion about the Leo and  Rotoract volunteers.
