Tail Twister – To celebrate their birthdays, Lions Phil and Eli gave many “Happy Dollars”. Happy Birthday guys!

Congratulations to you both!  Donations were also made in honor of the Sharks, Warriors and for Lion Bernie who is moving to Oregon. We wish him well.

Key Award – Lion Charlie Waters was presented with a Key Award by AM Coordinator Ray Lancon. The award is given to someone who has opened the door of Lionism to at least two individuals. Congratulations Lion Charlie Waters.

Golf Tournament – Lion John announced we now have 81 golfers…37 pledged and 44 paid. We still need more. Please continue to ask your friends and other golfers. It appears we have between 14 ½ and 16 Tee sponsors.

Lion Al expressed his appreciation to Lion Eli and Lion John for setting up the foursomes.

Lion Steve said we have $10,600 worth of donations but is estimating we will end up with $11,000 worth of donations. 10 people have signed up for the work party on June 16th at the Ratner home. Let Lion Steve know if you will be coming. Lion Steve and Ellen have offered to donate 4 bottles of wine to each of the winning foursomes. Thank you Lion Steve and Ellen!

Lions Jenny and Amy are still negotiating with Moffett Field. Lion Steve recommended if we can’t bring bagels to the tournament we should donate them to a food distribution charity such as Sunnyvale Community Services.

There was a discussion as to how many pizzas that should be brought. Consensus was we should bring 15 rather than 10.

We discussed the need to find another venue for the golf tournament next year. Lion Ray said he would follow up with that.

Lion Kent said since school will be out, only a few Leos have signed up to help.  He will check with DeAnza College Leos, Cupertino Host Leos, and the Boy Scouts. If you have any ideas for student volunteers, please forward the ideas to Lion Kent.

Kathryn Hughes Elementary School Picnic – The picnic will be a week from Friday at Fairway Glen Park, adjacent to Hughes School. Lion Eli asked that those helping should be at the park at 10:15 am. The third grade students will be arriving at 11:30 am.

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. It is not to late to sign up for training.
