Tail Twister – Lion Tail Twister Herb collected happy dollars from Lion Joan for her friend becoming a United States citizen.

Board Meeting Review – Lion Al reviewed the crab feed statistics and feels we will net approximately $14,000. He is working on reconciling the tickets. Lion Al said we had 265 sold for the 1st seating and 187 sold for the second seating. Larger expenses other than the crab were the truck rentals for approximately $950. Lion Steve said there are two silent auction items that have not been picked up yet that were bid on but not paid for. Lion Steve reserved the church for February 8, 2020 for next years crab feed. As far as we know there were no complaints about the band being to loud this year.

There was a committee setup to look into getting a CPA to handle our treasury accounts and also do the tax reports every year. The thought was that it would be expensive.

Ride4Diabetes – Lion Joan said they are looking at scaling back and eliminating some of the items to make the ride shorter to help reduce the cost. Lion Ray said the R4D committee gave a great presentation to the board. The thought is we will still need 1 or 2 SAG vehicles. Lion Kent said last week that we have about $9,000 in corporate donations.

Charter Night – Lion Ray said he has sent out the menu from the Blue Pheasant and the sign up sheet. He is asking some of the longer term Lions ie: Lion’s Al, Phil, Eli, John Smith and others to speak about the change of the club over the last 50 years. He also asked members if the have old club photos to bring them to share. Lion Charlie will reach out to Lion Ray Gamma on Facebook to see if he would be interested in attending Charter Night and speaking.

Golf Tournament – Lion Ray said Moffett Field has not hired a GM yet so he is talking with interim GM. Lion Ray has confirmed the June 22, 2019 date with a start time of 10 AM.

Good of the Order – Lion Steve said he has purchased two more racks for the dishwasher at Saint Lawrence for next year to help with the speed in washing the dishes. Lion Steve said the church is also fixing the hot water heater which needs to heat the water to 180 degrees.

Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations Lion Al won.
