P.M. Meeting Review –

The Green House at Via West Campus – Jeff
Lion Joan has taken a special interest in this program, having ongoing activity with the green house and to support them. Covid has offered an opportunity to grow vegetables and see how well we can do with it. Food would go to West Valley. Per Ray L.: Joan has done a great job with this. Last Friday, Bill and Eli donated their trucks and Dagi, Ron, Ray, Chris and Joan got compost.

Sudha has agreed to be the advisor for the Leo Club. We’re in the process of getting everything confirmed.

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. Lion Joan and other Lions will go to the Cupertino compost area on Friday and get two loads of compost and take them to Via West for the garden areas. Lion Joan and the Lions will go up to the camp on 8/8/2020 at 8:30 AM to plant more seeds in the green house and once they grow enough they will be transferred to the outside garden. Lion Joan said she was writing an article about our project for the District news letter.

Good of the Order –

Lion Dagi said she was taking Maria to the Lions eye clinic this Friday for follow up testing.
Lion Al moved to accept the minutes from the previous meeting. No objections.

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.
