Final push will be on August 12th. People do not need to be golfers, so you can ask friends and family to help raise funds.
Camp Via West – Lion Joan said she and other Lions had planted seeds in the outdoor garden area and now in the green house.

How do we collect happy dollars during Covid? We can PayPal Al Knox. Jeff to test with a donation.
Lion Carl said right about now we’d be starting the Crab Feed thought process.
There is a possibility that the county will dictate whether we can have a gathering of some type. TBD, as Covid is an evolving, unknown situation.
Lion Leslye said Canine Companions are not doing graduations right now. They suggested if we wanted to we can have a Zoom meeting with a handler to see puppies and keep in touch.
Lion Leslye talked about Project Linus which many of us have done blankets before, Leslye is wondering if we can do a Zoom blanketeering event. Lion Leslye could put together packages to pick up prior to the event. We are looking at doing it either on September 12th or 19th.
