Good of the Order –

Lion Ray asked if anyone knew what was going on with the Cupertino Host Lions Club as he has tried to contact them with no response.

Lion John Noone asked how he could get info on the new club members so he could update the website directory, he was told to contact either Lion Jill, Jeff, or Vijay as one of them should have the information.

Lion Al said he was going to attend the District 4C-6 convention in Santa Maria. He said we need a copy of the amendments to discuss how we should vote on them.
