Project Linus – Hands On Fun, We Serve – Join Us! 17th of October at the Odd
Fellows Hall in Cupertino at 6:30 PM. Lion Leslye and Joan purchased the material for the blankets. Lion Leslye explained to our guests what Project Linus is all about. Lion Kent said he would talk to the Leo’s to see if we could get a few volunteers.

Omar’s Dream Run – Sign Ups for volunteers is needed so go out to the Omar’s Dream Run website and register to volunteer or register to participate in the run/walk.

R4D – Lion Al said that we netted over $17,000 for the ride. There needs to be a discussion on the ride for next year. Looking at a different date so we can get more involvement from the Leo’s. It is the thought to get better involvement from the Leo’s it would be better to have the ride in May before school lets out.

Good of the Order –

Lion Steve is waiting on the decision of the cost of the crab feed this year so he can print up the tickets. This should be brought up at the Board meeting.

Volunteers for Rise Against Hunger will be needed. The date of the program is November 9, 2019, at Saint Francis Episcopal Church 1205 Pine Ave. San Jose @ 10 AM.

Lion Leslye talked about Canines for Companions at that they are having a special event on October 29, 2019 from 4-6 PM in Santa Rosa for the dedication of a new facility named in the honor of Charles Schulz. Lion Leslye is looking at setting up a trip to one of their graduation ceremonies in March so put it on your calendar.

Guest Dennis Whitaker reminded us that Wreaths Across America is on December 14, 2019.

Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations to Lion Steve who gave it all to the club.
