GOLF TOURNAMENT – WE NEED GOLFERS!  With 2 Silver and 1 Bronze sponsor we are ahead of schedule on sponsors. Lion Pat Coppe will again provide the water. Lion Steve says we now have $2237 in donations plus another $300 – $400 in golf club wedges and golf balls.

CRAB FEED – Lion Steve and Ellen called around and came up with some prices for crab. One recommendation was to have the Crab Feed earlier in the year i.e. November or December when prices are lower. Lion Jim said we had tried this one time before but it was not successful. Major problem is that you are at the mercy of the weather and availability.

Lion Jim and Simone have been in contact with Dwight, who is the head of all the Fish Market restaurants in Northern California. Next year’s Crab Feed will be the 20th anniversary of the event. It is the largest fundraiser for their Corporation and they want it to be special. They are suggesting they will shop around ahead of time and try and lock in a purveyor to get the best crab at the best price.

Mark the date. Next year’s Crab Feed will be on January 23rd 2016.

COURIER FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION – I (Lion Walt) just received an email from Lion Jeanine Healy who is heading up the program for our district. For those who volunteered to be couriers for the General Election in June, the Registrar of Voters needs to know who will be the driver and who will be the navigator. Also they will need to have your email addresses. Send me the information and I will put it into a spreadsheet and send it in. More information to follow.

4C6 CONVENTION – We tentatively have 4 delegates to vote in the election. Voting is on Saturday morning, May 9th, 6:30 am – 9:30 am at the Red Lion Woodlake Hotel and Conference Center in Sacramento. The food fair is at 12 noon.
