Crab Feed 2018 – Lion Steve said the Diocese had to approve so now we have a venue at St. Lawrence church on February 3, 2018. Lion Al said talked about the seating arrangements for large groups and thought to just assign the groups tables and let the individuals set where they want. Lion Al said he would like to do away with ticket will call he said he would prefer to mail tickets to the individuals. Currently Lions Al and Steve will be co-chairs for the event. Lion John
Noone will put the event on the web site along with the PayPal info. We will have two seatings with approximately 250 people per seating. There is still concern about enough volunteers.

Thanksgiving Food Drive – The food drive will be November 18th – 20th. Lion John said Lion Claire will send out a sign up sheet for volunteers. A third store has been added to the event, Lunardi’s Market on Bascom Ave. San Jose. We will need to talk with Lion Don Lang concerning the capacity of the Odd Fellows Hall to handle more than the 160 families we now support.

Board Meeting Review – Lion Al said no action was taken at the Board Meeting as there was not a quorum. Lion Al said since there was not a quorum a motion could not be made since a motion duly made needs to be seconded and voted on. Any motions made at the Board meeting will be electronically sent to the Board and voted on. There were three motions made 1st – Funding for maintenance of the new website, 2nd Motion to approve the three new members to the club, 3rd Motion to approve funds to repair of Lion Mike Martins truck

Good of the Order –

Lion Joan Chen said she learned about us thru the Ride4Diabetes event that she rode in.

Lion John reminded everyone of the Project Linus event on October 26th at 7:00 PM at the Cupertino Odd Fellows Hall. Lion Claire said she would be bringing the Girl Scouts again this year. Lion Dagi asked Lion John to send out a notice using the list serve.

Lion Dagi said she and Lion Steve’s wife Ellen who volunteered to work on the Student Speaker contest will host it at the Odd Fellows Hall on February 8, 2018. They will also need volunteers to help out at the event

Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations Lion Phil won and gave it all to Hope.
