Tail Twister – Lion Tail Twister Herb collected happy dollars. [Ray: I didn’t write down any of the comments for happy dollars. Do I need to? Pretty sure Kent was happy about the Warriors, but missed the rest.] Don’t worry
Lion Phil rolled the dice for his birthday and rolled an 11 and everyone else donated $1 to the club] Lion Phil gave a check worth about $86 to the Lions for the number of years( I think 86).

Camp Via West work: Thanks to Lions Bill, Ray and Herb, we did the first tasks on Friday and Monday. Next we need to remove stains on the wood part in front of the amphitheater. Tuesday May 21st and 25th Repair the Fire Circle. It was unfortunate that we didn’t have better lead time and more participation from the PM club members, as the work was a bit long and hard for those who worked this past weekend.

Charity Golf Tournament is on track with last year’s sign ups for golfers and early donations. Thirty-four golfers and tee sponsors at this point. Ray is making a chart of the work parties and says most jobs are filled. Lion Carl will set up the electronic sign, so he will need the sponsors’ names from Lion Al. Discussion about how the Paypal is working on our website for this event. The Auction and Raffle items being collected by Ray. A signup chart will be sent out for volunteers to collect Raffle and Auction items: we still need many more donations.

Lucky Store Closing – Lucky Store at El Paseo is closing. Steve has secured a promise of a partnership for our Food Drive with the Lucky in the Pruneridge Shopping Center at 234 Saratoga Ave.
