On Saturday, Lion Eli and crew will pick up beer/wine, water, soda and some boxes of juice for the kids. Amy has volunteered to get the tri tip at Costco.

AJ Robinson MSU/Silicon Valley Fall Festival – The Silicon Valley Fall Festival at Cupertino Memorial Park will be on Saturday, September 12th from 9 am to 6 pm.

We discussed bringing two tents. One for signing up new members and one for the Leos membership drive. Lion Phil said he would bring old Lion magazines, photos and some eyeglass pamphlets to compliment our brag board and business cards.
Good of the Order
