Board Meeting Review – Lion Eli said discussions about donations to two community services was very long. Lion Al said donations to Community SEVA ($1,000) was authorized after a member of Community SEVA gave a presentation of what they do and support was very compelling. There was also a donation to West Valley Community Services for an additional $750 which totals $1,000 for the year. Lion Al said Community SEVA was added to the June Budget for discussions. Lion Steve said he talked with his son who is charge of the Alameda County homeless project and his son said there is an organization called Destination Home that we might want to look at supporting. Lion Eli said he would contact them for information about their project. Lion Al said that the club also loaned the Monta Vista Leo’s club $300 for a project to make face masks for the community.
Lion Al said he received voter registration pins for our participation in the March primary election. He said he would hand them out to the Lion members who participated after the quarantine is over. Lion Al said he also received the check from the county for our volunteers which was around $1,793.
Golf Tournament – Lion Ray said that the Golf Tournament in June is canceled. After discussions with Lion Suda (Bike Ride Chair) it was decided that we will try and reschedule the golf tournament in September and the Ride4Diabetes will be rescheduled in 2021. Lion Ray will contact the Moffett Field course manager to see if we can set it up for September 12, 2020. Lion Steve said he has his updated mass mailing software almost ready to go. When he has it ready he will send out a notification about the rescheduled golf tournament.
