Crab Feed – Lion Dagi said the corrected flyer and letter for the Crab Feed is now on our website along with the links they refer to for donations. Lion Al said he provided Lion Carl with approximately 300 email addresses of past attendees to have a mass mailing going out to request donations since we are not able to have a Crab Feed this year because of Covid restrictions. The mass mailing has not happened yet. Lion Al made a minor change to the letter and sent it to Lion Dagi.
Good of the Order –

This will be a great day for us to socialize in an open air environment and practice social distancing in their amphitheater so pack a lunch and drinks and join in on the fun.
