Lion Steve said he and Ellen have sent out 82 donation requests so far and has received $1,500 worth of donations back so far. Lion Ray said he would check with Gary at MoffettField to see if they will donate two free foursomes for prizes. The question was raised about what we want to give away for prizes for the winners. We still need more golfers, sponsors and tee sponsors so let’s get out there and get them. We need to check with Lion Prez Jeff about the awards for the winners.
