Contact Lion Ray if you would like to volunteer.
REVIEW OF PM MEETING – Buchser Middle School Carrier Day – Our Club would like to thank Lions Mort, Eli, Ron, and Ray with helping setup/gate duty and Lion Walt as a presenter. The Career Day featured a large range of exhibiters and the 8th grade students appeared to have had a good time.
GOLF TOURNAMENT – Lion Amy has posted the assignment list on the Internet. We need you to signup NOW. Note: you may need to register in order to get online and use the signup list.
Lion Al said this will likely be our most successful Golf Tournament. 112 golfers have signed up but it appears we may have 120+ wanting to participate. Lion Eli thinks we will need 6 additional golf carts and is planning on discussing this with Moffett Field. Our Sponsorship this year has also been very good. Lion Ron is preparing 55 tee signs and has ordered 20 new signs. Lion Steve says there will be $9000 in donated items. Great job lions!!
