Board Members Present: Jill, Jeff, Vijay, Al, Eli, Sudha, Leslye, Jen, Claire.
DAL Guests: Ray, Kent, Steve, Bill

Meeting called to order at 6:35

April Minutes Approval: unanimously approved.

Covid Crab Feed Donation: a donation from Leslye’s sister, Linda, came in on May 7th and Carl said there was money on Go Fund Me. Sudha said there was some funds through the newsletter.

Hunger at Home: Second Volunteer Day this Saturday, May 22, . Volunteers have been submitted.

Club Officers and Board: The PU-101 has been submitted with the new board and officers. Do we still need a vote? Al says it is an important formality. Jeff will review the bylaws and Ray will read off the officers tomorrow AM.

Lion Charity Perpetual Fund Committee Recommendations:
Review: Vijay shared the spreadsheet on the screen and reviewed what we discussed in April. Then, he went over the committee’s steps for May. Then answered questions about fees, taxes, and is the unofficial consultant aware of the trends in the economy. Can Schwab take these recommendations and do the investing? Al says yes. Taking this action has been a long time coming.
Motion to add endowment fund clause to bylaws made by Lion Al. Lion Jeff seconds the motion. Passed unanimously.
Motion made by Lion Eli to invest the endowment funds in the manner recommended by the committee. Lion Ray seconds the motion. Motion passes unanimously.

Charity Golf Tournament and BBQ Proposal:
The idea of doing this in Cupertino as a community event in place of this year’s golf tournament, which won’t get the participation that it usually does.
Hold the golf tourney at Blackberry Farm, a 9 hole course (to go double around for a full tourney). Golf green fees are 20$, no arts and can pay 75% 10 days prior.
Next door across the fence there is a group picnic area that has a path or is right next door for a short drive. Picnic Area is $300 use fee and lions cater bbq dinner, 250 seating, could cancel up to 30 days beforehand without penalty.
Mayor Darcy Paul would like this event to celebrate coming out of COVID.
Lion Sudha agreed to chair the BBQ event, should we approve.
Kent presented pictures of the both areas and multiple spreadsheets showing potential financial scenarios, with costs and earnings for the events.
Reservations need to be made for the date, even if we end up not doing it, and we can get the fee back if it doesn’t launch.
Great exposure for our club in the city of Cupertino.
Questions and Comments:
Is a food license and inspection required and what is the fee for that? A liquor license? Unknown at this time.
What are the covid regulations in Cupertino? It’s projected that we will be fully open, but we would get a refund if that wasn’t the case.
Kent also suggests that we reserve the golf course as well for the same date. There is no money involved until 10 days prior.
If the board approves putting the deposit down, then the club needs to be surveyed to see what volunteers are available to plan and for the day of the event.
Moffett is off the table because the cost went up. Mini-golf was not a popular choice. Many golfers are not available like they used to be. The food service staff has also changed.
We need to find a new way to raise money for the club.
Kent volunteers to help Sudha because of his contacts.
Even though Moffett’s costs are up, we still have some base and it seems like we are scrapping an event that has been successful, through our slow build, for a brand new event in a different place and for a different purpose. If we start a whole new golf situation, can we ever get golf back in our traditional way?
Lion Ray makes a motion to reserve the date with the $300.00 dollars for the BBQ area at Blackberry Farm for Saturday, August 28th. Motion seconded by Lion Sudha. 6 aye, 2 nay, 1 abstention.

Good of the Order
We received an award from MD4 for caring for the community.
Sudha’s daughter took over the Community Lions.
Sudha attended the cabinet meeting with her as well and they were able to get support for the cause of period products for homeless women.
Anne Harris is not getting emails. It’s possible it is going to her spam.

Meeting adjourned at 8:17.

Call to Order – Lion Jeff @ 6:35

Charter Day 2021–Being at Via Services was great and being together was fun. It was an honor to have Matt Bell and Joan, the execs, were there. We received the Community Partner of the Year Award. The Hootenanny was a lot of fun-best ever! The Via campus is so great for gatherings that maybe we go up there again in the summer.

Via Campus Projects, The Gardens –Lion Joan and Lion Dagi have done so much at the garden and greenhouse. They may not be able to spend as much time up there in the future. Communicating with Via proactively so they know and there is a dialogue with the camp to keep it going.

Spirit of a Crab Feed 2021 – No updates, Lion Carl said that Go Fund Me netted a $1108.00

Charity Golf- BBQ Ideas, Proposals 2021, the proposal has transformed from possibly mini-golf, to a 9-hole, to back to Moffett, to Blackberry Farms with a BBQ. Lion Kent sent out a detailed proposal and a committee met on Monday the 3rd to discuss options. Lion Ray thinks that If the city approves and gives us the space for free, we should go for it with golf and BBQ. The city might give us a grant and then the city of Cupertino is invited.The question is where can we make the most money for the club? The optics for the city are great, but if we are trying to do our traditional golf and a BBQ event at the same time we don’t have the bandwidth as a club to run and work it. Many of our golfers are not able to golf at this time and for food, will tri-tip work with the population in Cupertino? If the grant comes through, what are the stipulations of the grant. If we are going to be serving the public, we need all the licenses, etc. Blackberry Farms is perfect as our club home city location. Doing both on the same day seems impossible. We used to hold this event ( a long time ago) at Blackberry with a meal, with about 75 people golfing and eating aft. Kent is currently the liaison between us and the city. We need to make a decision at the board meeting in May to meet the city of Cupertino’s discussions in June.

Ride 4 Diabetes 2022: Lion Sudha and her team mentioned that it would be okay to move the ride to the Spring of 2022.

Delegates for 2021 4c-6 Convention: Sat. 15 May. 1-3p Voting Session. Current delegates are Ray L. is definitely in, Jeff (possibly), and we need two to three more. The convention is local in San Jose and in person. The registration for the delegates is reimbursed by the club. Ray will work on trying to get a few more.

Lions, Leadership, and YOU – 2021-2022 Board of Directors and Officers, Lion Al has generously offered to do two roles, treasurer and secretary, with support on the secretary role. We need to find a way to get others to step up to leadership and board roles.

Good of the Pride:
Dagi took Maria for a Covid test and Steve is taking her for another surgery in SF.
Membership and participation is something we need to examine and figure out how to boost.
