Tail Twister – Tail Twister Pro-tem Lion Kent went around and collected Happy Dollars and Quarters.

Blind Center – Lion Al said the work party will start at 9:00 – 10 AM for those volunteers who can make it. Lion Al’s son-in-law Brian will be there and will get a chipper. Lion Al said bring loppers, hand sheers, rakes, brooms and he will brIng his pole saw. Lion Al has pictures taken before our work and will get pictures after we are done. We expect about 10 volunteers and hope to be done around 12 – 1PM.

Ride4Diabetes – Lion Kent said he went to Roberts market in Woodside on Saturday where large numbers of bike riders stop during their rides to pass out information on our ride. Lion Kent passed out approximately 200 information cards. We still need to concentrate on getting riders, walkers, and volunteers for our event. The YMCA is co-promoting our ride and will be sending out an email to all their members around the Bay Area. Lion Kent said the other issue is getting restaurants to provide lunch for the event. We need about 10 – 12 restaurants to provide a variety of food for the riders and volunteers. Lion Kent said Frontier Ford is providing five vehicles for the event and we will need to provide drivers.

Good of the Order – Lion Al said there will be a budget meeting at his home on Tuesday July 11th at 6:30 PM. Lion Charle’s has sent out a survey for club members to voice their support for a charity so the board can review their request and where to spend our charitable donations.

Lion Eli sent out an email concerning the Tail Twister Party on August the 6th and Lion Mike Ringers home. Please respond to Eli and let him know if this date works for you and you will be able to attend.

Opportunity Drawing – Lion Ron won the opportunity drawing and gave the money to the club.
