Tail Twister – Lion Tail Twister Temp Eli went around and collected happy dollars, for the 49er’s big win in the playoffs and hopefully a big win in the Super Bowl.

Student Speaker Contest – Lion Dagi said as of this time we have no speakers but she will continue to ask the schools. If we get no response by Monday we will have to cancel the contest. Lion Dagi said that the Cupertino Host club draws from the same High Schools and we might have to start looking sooner beat them to the schools. Lion Dagi said another issue is the filtering down of the info to the right individuals. Lion Joan went to five different schools in person to try and get speakers. The contest is February 6, 2020 at the Odd Fellows Hall in Cupertino. The contest starts at 7:00 PM the doors open at 6 PM. There will not be any allowed in after the contest has started.

Crab Feed – Lion Al said the first seating is virtually (425) sold out and we have tickets available for the second seating (75). Lion Al said we were $500 above the budget for the Crab Feed. That means so far we have taken in more that $500 more than we budgeted, but he has not seen any receipts for expenditures as of yet. Lion Al said we have not heard fro The Redi Room as of yet. The Crab Feed work party will be on February 5, 2020 starting at 5:30 PM. Lion Steve said he sent out an email concerning the work party asking people to sign up so he knows how much food he needs to get. Lion Joan said she would purchase the real table cloths for the tables instead of paper ones. Lion Steve said he will pick up the keys for the St. Lawrence Community room on Thursday. We don’t know if anyone has talked with Dave Zerkel about running the Treasure Chest as of yet. Lion Joan and Lion Dagi talked about trying to go as green as we can for the Crab Feed, we are going in that direction as far as we can this year and we will discuss it further for next years Crab Feed. Lion Kent said he had talked with the Leo’s and we have a few signed up but there is and issue with them at this time because of the coronavirus, he will continue to discuss it with them. Lion Al & Barbara will pick up what produce we need and other items at Costco Friday morning. Lion Steve reminded everyone that the cleanup work party on February 9, 2020 will be at his house starting 9 AM.

Santa Clara Voters Registration – Lion Al said we were looking good for the voters registration pickup. The only time not filled in at this time is on February 29, 2020. If anyone would like to volunteer (Driver and helper) then we will have all the spots filled.

Good of the Order – None

Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations to Lion Al who one and by the way he also one last week, just call him mister lucky.
