R4D 2019 Recap: All expenses aren’t in, but sitting close to $16,000+ net, plus our donation to diabetes out of the account, some to AJ Robinson, and another Diabetes Youth Family. Lion Leslye volunteered to hold a few organizational meetings for the ride for next year. Leslye is going to adapt a feedback form for the club, with Sudha and Andrea for feedback. The weekend in September after Labor Day, on a Sunday, seems to be a good one. Sudha has expressed an interest in leading it next year.
Leos and the 4th USA/Canada Leo Leadership Forum: some documentation sent to Ted (Monta Vista) about the monetary issues, but they haven’t gotten back. September and summer are difficult times to get Leos to volunteer.
Omar’s Dream Run: transportation, tables and chairs, and cash sales are all taken care of for the day. October 20th. Al is the one who interacts with the run organizers.
Crab Feed 2020 Update (Contract, Chair, etc.) contract and date, February 8th, 2020. $3,200 for the location. Watch for buying too much crab, as we had too much last time. Band is already confirmed. Are Jenni and Carl still willing to run it? Al is willing to do ticket sales.
Issue for Big Events is Volunteering: how do we bring in more PMers to all events for volunteering? Could one of the jobs for an event be a volunteer coordinator for each event, instead of the chairs having to get all the volunteers.
LCI Help in Wake of Dorian: Do we want to send money? Do we want to send money to LCIF for Bahama Relief which gives the money straight to Lions on scene, who deliver the funds. Jeff motions that we send LCIF our 5,000.00 earmarked to the Bahama Relief fund through LCIF. Al seconds that motions. Unanimously approved.
Annual Donation Transfer to Dandeli Lions: $2500.00 will be given when Prasad Shirahatti can come to a meeting.
Various 4c-6 Updates: Peace Poster contest, Claire will check with Girl Scouts and then we will order packet, if needed. Denim and Diamonds contest in Visalia. in February for MD-4. The 4C-6 is in Santa Maria.Let Lion Al or Lion Jeff know if you want to go.
Student Speaker Contest 2019/20: packet ordered as requested by Dagi.
Good of the Order: Thank you cards coming in for various donations we have made, money collected in Lion John’s name for Canine Companions name has been donated and they have sent a video. Send check to diabetes that we intended to send for $500.00, and we want to get the check to Nuru. Rise to Hunger is in November and we will send $250 to them. Leslye wants to bring some Lions to a graduation at Canine Companions, maybe in March or April. Farmworker tour will be in spring, too. Project Linus: Joan, Jenni, and Carl will be helping for the October 17th date at Oddfellows Hall. Can the blankets be sent to Bahamas instead if there’s a need? Awards committee may be chaired by Lion Charles and if not, Al will take the responsibility back. Before we start advertising, it would be nice to show where the money from R4D went with a pie chart. Giving more to AJ Robinson is an idea. Maybe more to the Diabetes Camp for sponsorships for camp.
Meeting adjourned at 7:43.
