GOLF TOURNAMENT – Lion Eli says he has been in contact with Moffett Field’s new Director of the Golf Course, Gary Pearce. Gary has promised to provide the same service as last year at the same price. Paul & Eddies have come through with a Bronze Sponsorship, and we may be getting another Silver Sponsor. We still need golfers and tee sponsors. There will probably be a Golf Meeting before the next PM Meeting.

GOOD OF THE ORDER
CAMP VIA WEST – Lion Bill says the only time available for maintenance work at Camp Via is over the 3 day Memorial Day weekend that is from Friday afternoon May 22nd through Monday May 25th. We have plenty of brown paint and the use of Lion Steve’s new sprayer. Need you to volunteer.
COURIERS FOR GENERAL ELECTION – Mike Fong at the Registrars of Voters Office for Santa Clara County says they will need Couriers for the General Election in November. We were miss-informed about couriers for the June election. He will contact us in August to see if we are still interested in participating. Does not look like there will be any daytime couriers, just nighttime.
FLAG DAY THINGS – Lion Mort says there was only 1 flag day this year because of personal issues. Next year she is planning three flag days at Trace, Sutter, and Hughes schools, probably in March.
