Tail Twister – Lion Tail Twister Herb went around the meeting and collected happy dollars from all the Lions.  Many Happy Dollars were given for the successful Golf Tournament and for the Golden State Warriors. We were all envious Lion Steve being able to march in the Warriors’ victory parade.

Bingo – We need YOU to volunteer to take over the scheduling of the Bingo Schedule. Please contact Lion Ray if you are willing to do so.

Budget Meeting/Tail Twister Party dates – These items will be discussed at the Board Meeting on June 23rd.

Golf Tournament – Looks like a very successful tournament. Lion Al estimated the net at about $20,0274.35. Thanks to Lion Amy and all who helped to make it so successful!

Some of the things that were much appreciated:

  1. New Tee Signs looked very professional. Kudos to Lion Ron.
  2. Golf Course was in much better condition than last year.
  3. National Anthem was played at the beginning of the tournament.
  4. Leos did a nice job with curbside service and in breaking down the tables and tents after the end of registration.

Some recommendations for improvement include:

  1. The Management was a little lax. We could have used a few more carts. Some of the batteries on the carts were not fully charged by the beginning of the tournament.
  2. Awards should be given out earlier and raffle prices given out last. People were leaving too early.
  3. Golf certificates not handed out to division winners.
  4. Food was not as good as last year.
  5. Lion Steve asked that anyone who helps taking down his PA equipment should please wind it on the reel rather than leaving in a pile.
  6. We should ask the Leos to bus their tables in the cafeteria when they are though.
  7. Personal Observation: Our lion golfers would have done better if they had bought more licorice.

Lion Eli suggested we hold a Reorganization Meeting in January.

Membership – It takes a lot of help to put on our events. Lion Ray asked that we ask our friends and neighbors about joining our club.

Good of the Order – The Odd Fellows Memorial Pancake Breakfast is a week for Saturday on June 27th. This is a great event that supports cancer charity. See attached flier.

Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations Eli, you finally won!!
