TAIL TWISTER – Lion Herb collected several happy dollars for the Golden State Warriors winning the NBA West playoff. Lion Al gave many happy dollars in gratitude for Lions Steve and Walt transporting Maria to the California Pacific Medical Center for emergency treatment.

CAMP VIA WEST – Lion Bill thanked Lions Steve, Ron, Bill, Herb, Don, Dagi, Jeff, and Walt for helping him prep and paint the outdoor tables and sitting areas last Friday and Saturday.

MARIA RANGUL EYE EMERGENCY – Maria’s left eye became infected. It is the same one that our Lions club helped with the Cornea transplant 3 years ago. Lion Walt brought her to the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco for emergency treatment on Sunday, and Lion Steve and Ellen for a follow up trip on Tuesday. She is doing much better but will have to return for another visit soon.

GOLF TOURNAMENT – Lion Al reported we now have 103 golfers signed up with another 12 pledged. All participants will need to come in through the front gate and will need to bring a photo ID.

Lion Eli said he is concerned the golf course does not have enough golf carts; they will need a dozen more. On the positive side he said Moffett will do the scoring for us this year.

Currently we have 15 – 16 tee sponsors. Lion Ron said he will be making around 30 tee signs that will include event sponsors and partners.

Lion Steve says we now have $6,268 in donated goods with more coming in. Donations include a 4-week summer school for a child in grades kindergarten to 6th grade at a private school. Donation is worth $1425. This should be of interest to some of our younger Lion families or to some of the Leo parents.

The work party will be at the Ratner home on June 11th at 5 pm. Please let them know if you are coming.

The potluck party will be at the Eliason home on Friday June 12th. Lion Mort will be sending out an email next week.

GOOD OF THE ORDER – Lion Kent reminded us our Monta Vista Leo Club will hold their annual end of year banquet tomorrow, Friday, May 29th, 4:30 pm at BJ’ s Restaurant in Cupertino. Our club will award Silver Seal Awards to 11 Leos because each has given 50 hours of service to their community during the year. Please come and show your support. It should be a fun time. WEAR YOU YELLOW SHIRTS OR JACKETS.

The Alzheimer’s Association sent us a Thank You letter for our $250 donation. In California alone, 580,000 individuals who are age 65 or older have Alzheimer’s. Lets hope a cure is forthcoming.

OPPORTUNITY DRAWING – Congratulations to our big winner, Lion Steve!
