AJ ROBINSON SCREENING VAN – The van will be at the City of Cupertino Fall Festival on Sep 9 – 10th at Memorial Park. Need volunteers and Leos. Volunteers also needed on October 10th for the Dog Festival at Memorial Park. See Jim Isaacson for more information.
BOARD MEETING – Lion Al said the Board has approved spending $250 for a donation to Canine Companions in honor of retiring District Governor Karen Fillmore. Next year will be the 20th Anniversary of our Crab Feed and the help given by Fish Market. It is a big deal for them so we decided to only raise the ticket cost to $50. Because of problems with charge backs, we will not use Pay Pal for the Crab Feed next year. Next step is to meet with Rotarians.
GOLF TOURNAMENT – We now have $2700 in donations plus 3 Silver Sponsors and 1 Bronze. Only have about 25 golfers signed up. Need another 100 golfers.

CAMP VIA – Lion Bill says the only time available for maintenance work at Camp Via is over the 3 day Memorial Day Weekend.
