Golf – Lion Eli said he thought we have approximately 74 signed/pledged golfers at this time. We need about another 40 golfers so please do what you can to help out. Lion Eli is working on Recology as a major sponsor. Lion Dagi has sent out a list of previous sponsors to club members for updating. We have several major sponsors and $3,102 in donations at this point in time. There will be a packing party at Lion Steve and Ellen’s home on Thursday June 15th at 6:00 PM. Lion Eli said he will check on the beer cost with Moffett. The main thing now is we need “More Golfers” so round up your groups and get them registered with Lion Jen Smith.

4-C6 Convention – Lion Al and Barbara Knox attended the convention in Santa Clarita and said it was the best one they have attended in a long time. He was upset that the District was raffling off 6 Melvin Jones awards. He thought it demenished the importance of the award.

Ride4Diabetes – Lion Kent said the Super Almaden Lions are having their cycling event this Saturday and we will be setting up a tent to promote the Ride4Diabetes. Lion Kent said that the Almaden Cycling Club will be having a meeting on June 7th and has invited us to do a Ride4Diabetes presentation. The American Diabetes Association is having a cycling event on June 11th and we are welcome to set up a booth for Ride4Diabetes. We currently have a couple of major sponsors but we still need “Corporate” sponsors. The YMCA has agreed to promote our ride at their 11 Bay Area locations and they can set up a tent at our ride to try and get new members.

Good of the Order – Lion Eli said Lion Jenni was setting a date for the Flag Day event at Hughes Elementary school. We do need a volunteer to do the flag day presentation to the students now that Lion Mort is no longer available. The Lions still plan on doing Hot Dogs for the kids no matter what.

Lion Eli talked about his disappointment that we did not promote the De Anza Lions club at our Ride4Diabetes booth last Saturday.
