Board Meeting Review –

It was mentioned that letters were sent to all of the individuals that purchased tickets to the Crab Feed that they could request a refund of their money or make it a contribution to the clubs Charity Account. If we do not get a response from the individual the money will go into the Charity account. So far $2,770 dollars has been donated and $600 has been refunded.
The Board agreed to donate $500 to the Monterey Building fund for the Blind Center.
Discussions were held concerning the upcoming annual Golf Tournament. Several golf courses were asked to provide information on holding a golf tournament this year in the June timeframe. Out of the four requested we only have had one response so far.
Lion Steve mentioned that the auction/raffle items for the cancelled crab feed will be used for the golf tournament. There were two items that had specific dates that they had to be used on and they both have been sold.
The Board also discussed the sending out of invoices for club member dues on a yearly basis. Several members who have been behind in paying their dues for whatever reason have been removed from the member list.

Golf Tournament – A group will go down to Spring Hill Golf Corse in Watsonville to check it out for the tournament.
Discussions about club officers serving a 2 year term with the 1st VP moving up to President after their term is up, this would move other officers up with the other club officers. The club president may appoint nominating committee to nominate and explain the duties of the various officers.
