Lion Andrea reported a favorable interest to our booth at the Cupertino Volunteer Fair and considers the event a success.

There was an in-depth discussion and exchange of information regarding the Ride4Diabetes. It was felt the Committee must do three things: 1-present to the Board any and all information regarding donor data since inception of the event. 2-be present at a Board Meeting and provide an update. 3- be sure to attend the June 15th Budget Meeting to extend the budget into the 2019-2020 Fiscal Year if the intent is to continue this effort.

A brief discussion of the upcoming Food Drive was held, and a new Santa Clara Lucky’s location has been added to the possibilities along with Lunardi’s Market on Bascom Avenue in San Jose.

At the request of Lion President Jeff, the Board agreed with a change in the date of the upcoming PM Meeting to June 12th, 2019 providing Lion President Jeff made the necessary arrangements with Tony and Alba’s.

Charity Golf Classic 2019 – We need 20 auction items (over $100) and 20 raffle items ($25). Goodie Bags were donated to Steve from Cheryl Ching of State Farm. Lion Steve reported that we have about 65 sleeves of golf balls on hand. Close to 50 golfers pledged or paid, assuming all foursomes are completed. Some golfers may not be planning to participate. Lion Al is trying to keep track closely. We now have a Gold Sponsor. We need many more Tee Signs committed; only 10 are paid for so far. Lion Ray is checking on the PB&J sandwiches; we have a quote from last year’s supplier as one possibility. We are giving out bottles of wine this year instead of plaques (Lion Steve can supply the wine). We need award certificates for each of the divisions; plus wine as appropriate. All such details need to be handled at a Golf Tournament meeting.

The golf tournament is June 22, 2019 at Moffett Field Golf Course with a shotgun tee time of 10 AM. Lion Ray sent out the signup for volunteers to collect the donations.

The preparations party for the golf tournament will meet at Lion Ray’s house.

Good of the Order –

Jim Isaacson asked if we want to do a booth at the Fall Festival.

Lions canopy repair – Lion Ray will send the contact to Lion Al who will check out how to get a replacement. Lion Ray will bring the canopy to Lion Steve to look at what is needed.

Flag Day – no new update.

Ride-4-Diabetes – Insurance, Lion Ray, Donations coming in; Lion Al reported; Ray will email about 3 things to Lion Sashi and Lion Liang; Lion Kent reported that he found out that the website was still not up to day 2 days before the May 5 (old date for the event); we need to find out what is going on with that committee.
