Call to Order at: 6:34pm

Minutes:
Approval of January Minutes: Lion Jeff motioned and Lion Claire seconded a motion to approve the January minutes; the motion passed.

Next Step: Lion Charity Perpetual Fund. Lion Jeff asked if we should create a committee to come up with an investment/risk plan and present to the members; all agreed. Lion Al said that whoever is going to monitor the fund should be in touch with a professional, probably other than Charles Schwab. Lion Al also suggested that we should have some Board and some non-Board members on the committee. Lion Vijay said we should figure out what we want first and that will drive the strategy. Lion Claire said that the committee should decide on our big-picture strategy and then we could run it by Artie Green (the financial advisor who presented to our last meeting) once we have a plan. Lion Jeff thinks 3-5 would be a good number for the committee (mix of Board and non-Board). The Board thinks that Lion Kent and Lion Eli are interested in being on the committee. Lion Vijay and Lion Claire offered to be part of the committee. The task of the committee is to come up with an investment and management strategy for the fund.

Covid Crab Feed Donation 2021. Lion Jeff asked for any updates on Crab Feed donations and encouraged us all to reach out to our usual Crab Feed contacts.
Hunger at Home Volunteer Event. Lion Claire updated that the Hunger at Home event is Saturday, March 13, 8am-noon, and we have had six signups so far; she will send a reminder to the club shortly. Lion Leslye said FYI that this is the same date as the upcoming District leadership forum.

Charter Day 2021. Charter Day is now Saturday, April 24 at Camp Via, and we may also have an update from Camp Via during that time.

Good of the Pride.
Lion Claire asked about social media/website strategy. Lion Leslye said that Lion Dagi has been in touch with Dave Kaplow, our contact from West San Jose-Campbell Lions; Lion Leslye said she would follow up.
Lion Jeff said he would like to learn more about the Treasurer role and would like to see if anyone would like to step up as President for a year starting in June while he learned about the Treasurer role, and Lion Jeff could be Past President.
