Lion Al said we have already sold 16 tickets. The great “Thrown Together Jazz Band” will perform. Lion Al said we need to give driving instructions to those who need it. There will be a drop dead date set for tickets group tickets not sold. The cost of the facility is $400 more that Saint Williams but includes dumpsters, security, liquor license, etc.

Thanksgiving Food Drive – The food drive will be November 18th – 20th. Lion John said Lion Claire and Lion Jen are doing a great job. They have got a third store (Lunardi’s) for the food drive. Lion John said he will get the boxes for the food drive but is asking Lion’s to ask their local markets for Apple boxes (we need approximately 30) that we use to transport the food from the stores to the Odd Fellows Hall. Lion John said Lion Jim Gould has reserved the refrigerator truck to pickup on Saturday morning. The two Lucky stores will need 3 tables each and one at Lunardi’s. Lion Kent said he would talk with the Leo’s about volunteers. We need to make sure we have sufficient volunteers and trucks for delivery on Monday morning. We need to be out of the Odd Fellows Hall by 9:30 AM Monday morning.

Student Speaker Contest – Lion Dagi said she received the material for the contest. Lion Dagi said Ellen is sending the material out to the schools and that we already have one student speaker signed up. Lion Dagi said that Walt is still providing support to her and Ellen. The contest is February 8, 2018 at the Odd Fellows Hall. They will also need volunteers to help out at the event.

Good of the Order –

Lion John reminded everyone of the Project Linus event tonight October 26th at 6:30 PM at the Cupertino Odd Fellows Hall. Lion Claire said she would be bringing the Girl Scouts again this year.

Lion Ray thanked Lion Al for filling in for him while he was gone and thanking Lion Dagi for doing the monthly MMR report that goes to LCI.

Lion Eli said everything went well at Omar’s Dream Run. Lion Scott Harris and Lion Mike Ringer took care of the table and chairs from the storage unit. Lion Eli said they had plenty of volunteers and thought there were about 400 runners.
