Review of Board Meeting

Financial Review: Golf Tournament

–       Tournament netted $20,054.35 about $3,000 more than last year.

–       The course was in much better shape than last year. Lion Vijay suggested it was a good time to lock it up for next year.

–       Need to have a post-mortem. Though very successful financially, the food was in need of improvement. It was suggested we offer to pay Moffett Field a fee for the food but then provide our own vendor. Outback is willing to donate the food.

–        Some of the other complaints: beer charges were high, the carts were not charged and ready in a timely manner, awards need to be passed out in a more timely manner.

AJ Robinson

–       We agreed to pay $195 for the use of the AJ Robinson van to staff the Fall Silicon Valley event at the Cupertino Memorial Park on Saturday September 12th. Lion Ray said we should probably donate a few extra dollars because we use their collision insurance when we rent a refrigerator truck for the Crab Feed.

–       We will invite a board member from AJ Robinson to a PM meeting to show how the equipment works.

Eagle Scout Project

–       A Life Scout from troop #494 wants to team up with our club on a project to earn his Eagle Scout badge. Wants to set up a program to collect old eye glasses. We can provide collection boxes and literature.

Golf Tournament – Looks like a very successful tournament. Lion Al estimated the net at about $20,0274.35. Thanks to Lion Amy and all who helped to make it so successful!

Some of the things that were much appreciated:

  1. New Tee Signs looked very professional. Kudos to Lion Ron.
  2. Golf Course was in much better condition than last year.
  3. National Anthem was played at the beginning of the tournament.
  4. Leos did a nice job with curbside service and in breaking down the tables and tents after the end of registration.

Some recommendations for improvement include:

  1. The Management was a little lax. We could have used a few more carts. Some of the batteries on the carts were not fully charged by the beginning of the tournament.
  2. Awards should be given out earlier and raffle prices given out last. People were leaving too early.
  3. Golf certificates not handed out to division winners.
  4. Food was not as good as last year.
  5. Lion Steve asked that anyone who helps taking down his PA equipment should please wind it on the reel rather than leaving in a pile.
  6. We should ask the Leos to bus their tables in the cafeteria when they are though.
  7. Personal Observation: Our lion golfers would have done better if they had bought more licorice.

Lion Eli suggested we hold a Reorganization Meeting in January.

Membership – It takes a lot of help to put on our events. Lion Ray asked that we ask our friends and neighbors about joining our club.

Good of the Order – The Odd Fellows Memorial Pancake Breakfast is a week for Saturday on June 27th. This is a great event that supports cancer charity. See attached flier.
