Good of the Order –

Lion Ray said he was stepping down from the clubs Board of Directors and would need a replacement for this who are interested.

Lion Dagi said she has De Anza Lions club apparel available and is offering our yellow club jackets for $10 (originally $35) for sale. Please contact Lion Dagi to let her know if. You would like to purchase one.

Lion Eli said he was trying to get info on our bike ride on the internet and was not able to find any, he would like to know what internet site has that information so we would have it for the information booth we are setting up at the Dennis Whittaker retirement party and the Cupertino Earth day celebration.

A discussion was held about the different list serves that our club has and said a committee needs to be set up to see if we can merge them so we can go to one list serve and get the information on different projects. If we cannot merge the different list serves can we make it so all the list serves have the same information on the different projects and members.

Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations Lion Charlie won.
