Crab Feed – Lion Ray said he and Eli talked with both Saint Williams church and the Los Altos Rotarians about their participation in the crab feed and they both declined. Lion Steve said we need to make a final decision soon. There will be a special meeting with crab feed major players and Board members Friday September 23rd at 3:00PM at Lion Al’s home to discuss whether our club should go alone in this endeavor. Lion Steve passed around a copy of the new flyer for review, changes might need to be made pending the meeting. Lion Jim said the Fish Market is still in. Lion Al mentioned that we would have to get some kind of Visa charging (i.e. Pay Pal / Square) device so that we can use it for the crab feed.

Cycling Event – Lion John said he was working on the cycling routes. He said he thought the long route was okay but might need to change the others depending on input from others.

Lion Prez Jeff to contact Lion Bob Long concerning the new high school who wants to start a new Leo’s club.

Good of the Order – Lion Ray said he and Lion Eli took 2,000 pairs of glasses to Vallejo with the majority of them from Lion Phil, great job Lion Phil.
