TailTwister – No Tail twister today Lion Herb took the morning off. Although he mentioned that it was Lion Eli’s birthday and asked him if he wanted to roll the dice, he graciously said he had already donated by check his money to Lion Al for the perpetual fund.

Camp Via West Work Party – Lion Bill organized the work party and we had Lion’s Dagi, Joan, Al, Ray, Ron, Bill and Lion Bill’s son Patrick were there on Friday. Lions Dagi and Joan spruced up the camp by cleaning up around the main buildings. On Saturday Lion Prez Jeff, Bill, Dagi, Joan, Ray, and Ron were mowing/clearing the hill sides of the tall grass and cleared one tree that had fallen across one of the access roads. Lion Joan had brought some plants from her garden at home and her and Lion Dagi planted them around the main area, it looked beautiful. After that they continued clearing other areas of the main camp of weeds. Everyone worked hard and felt a great deal of accomplishment. Lion Joan stated that we need more Lions signage at the camp we will look into getting signage to place around Camp Via.

Board Meeting –

Lion Leslye said the next Canine Companion graduation is August 14, 2020. Hopefully we will be able to attend.

Lion Al said we have $6,000 to disperse for this fiscal year, between the fact that we are waiting for some billings and money we have not designated. In June, Al will check on those billings. For Camp Via, we have funds left over that we didn’t spend on materials for upkeep as we usually do and possibly we could donate if they have a need. We have already sent Via $1,500 dollars towards camperships.
The next scheduled Budget Meeting for 2020/21 budget is scheduled for Saturday June 27, at 1:00 pm. We will have to wait for clarity on if we can meet in person or via Zoom. Jeff will send out the date and tell members to come to advocate for their charities. Al will send it out earlier for review, and members could also submit in writing their thoughts and their advocacies if they cannot be there. The chairpeople for our fundraising events should prepare their budgets for the meeting: Golf Tournament, Food Drive, Crab Feed, Ride for Diabetes, and then another golf tournament in June 2021 (same fiscal year).
Charity Golf Tournament Saturday, August 29th pending any social distancing requirements. Can we ask Ray and Ron to attend the next board meeting. We must think of where we are with our usual plan vs. what might happen with COVID -19 restrictions. Moffett is not yet open, like some other golf courses. We could ask for donations in place of the event, but make it more meaningful to direct the funds to supporting those affected by COVID-19, or another direct charity.

Good of the Order – Lion Leslye said the next Canine Companion graduation is August 14, 2020. Hopefully we will be able to attend.

Lion Steve said we had not heard back from “Destination Home” to see if they want to give us a presentation at the next P.M. meeting. Project Destination Home works with another charity organization, Abode Services to support those in need.

Opportunity Drawing – None
