Board Meeting Review

FINANCIALS: Lion Bernie is moving to Oregon and no longer has signature authority. Lion Vijay has taken over his responsibilities and will be sending out quarterly statements. His address will appear on future invoices. Make sure you address your payments to him.

GOLF UPDATES: Food options for tournament are limited. We have agreed on the taco bar probably at a cost of $15/head. We need your help in getting golfers and sponsors. Lion Kent is working on getting some Leos. Lion Dagi still needs help with the scoring.

Lion Eli indicated the golf committee should get together and finalize plans as to what is being done by whom.

Lion Al says we now have 47 golfers of which 23 are paid. We need 60 paid golfers to make this tournament financially sound.

Lion Steve reported he has received over $10,000 in donations and has 20 items for the raffle. The work party will be at his home 5 pm, on Thursday, June 16th. Please RSVP if you are coming. He needs to know how much food and drink to get.

SUMMER TAIL TWISTER/INDUCTION PLAN: Will be scheduled for July.

CHARITABLE BUDGET: It was decided the $1,500 budged for Wounded Warriors would be put on hold. The funds will be carried over to next years budget and possibly given to another veteran’s organization.

Camp Via – Annual maintenance will be on May 27 – 28. On May 27th work will begin at 1:30 pm. Bring wire brush and hammer. We will be making repairs and power wash. On Saturday, May 28th painting will begin at 9:30 am. Bring paintbrushes, rollers, trays, and rags. Volunteers are needed, especially on Saturday.

We will present a check to the representative from Camp VIA at the next PM meeting.

Flag Day – Lions Mort and Anne put on a flag day presentation at Sutter School on Tuesday, May 17th. Lion Eli reported it was very successful but they could have used a third person.

Career Day – Buchser Middle School career day was held on Wednesday, May 18th. There were 35 presenters. Thanks to all the Lions who helped set up and take down the tables.

Good of the Order

Crab Feed: It doesn’t appear that we can save enough money by changing venues. We will return to St William Church next year . Still no word from Sunnyvale Sunrise as to whether they want to partner with us again next year and our proposal to change the split on income.

Couriers for June 7th Election: Those interested in participating should contact Monique Herrera at the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. Phone number: (408) 282-3284 or email Monique.herrera@rov.sccgov.org.

Katherine Hughes Elementary School Picnic:  The annual school picnic will be on Friday, June 3rd at Fairway Park, adjacent to Hughes Elementary School. Setup begins at 10:15 am. The children will be there at 11:30 am. Contact Lion Eli if you have any questions.

Back & Neck Problems: If you are suffering back or neck problems, Lion Al strongly suggests the services of his chiropractor. The chiropractor is having a meet and greet with free lunch on May 27th at 10:30 am. Contact Lion Al for details.

Opportunity Drawing – There was no opportunity drawing this week.
