Great fun, got to the beer tent 4 times. It probably effected my game, but the course was great, weather perfect, and it’s really fun to play with the other Lion golfers. See you again in 2015!

A program that started as one Lion’s vision in 2007 marked its fifth year this past December, with the Ambikanagar Lions Club in west India partnering with the De Anza Lions Club of Cupertino to provide life-changing eye examinations and surgery through a free eye camp.
The 2011 eye camp saw about 200 people examined and 52 patients selected as good candidates for the intra-ocular lens implantation procedure. All procedures were successful, and the patients would be called back the next week for a follow-up exam.
This joint eye camp program was initiated after a visit in April 2007 by Ambikanagar Lion Dr. Neelkanth Byakod to the De Anza Lions PM meeting in Cupertino, CA. During the visit Lion Byakod invited the De Anza Lions to enter into a partnership with his club by sponsoring an annual free eye camp, to serve those who had no other option for such eye care. Were it not for this program, the disadvantaged people in this particular area of west India (near Goa, but inland) would have little chance having their sight improved in such a dramatic way.
The De Anza Lions responded positively and enthusiastically to the opportunity. Since Lion Byakod’s first visit to the club, he’s been back a couple of times to update the De Anza club and share Lions fellowship. This program is a fine example of the true spirit of Lionism, a great program that furthers the Lions core mission of helping those with sight issues, and our timeless motto, “We Serve.”

14th Annual Charity Crab Feed
Cupertino De Anza Lions and Sunnyvale Sunrise Rotary Club
They all came — 595++ people — to the 14th Annual Charity Crab Feed, organized by the Cupertino DeAnza Lions and the Sunnyvale Sunrise Rotarians. Prominent guests included the IPDG Marlene Duffin and her husband, as well as Lion Bob Ferber, candidate for 2VDG for our district.
As last year, the event took place at the Community Hall of St. Williams Parish in Los Altos. Despite the continued economic crisis, tickets for the first seating were sold out long before Christmas, while there were a couple of tickets left over for the second seating.
As in previous years, the Fish Market restaurant delivered ocean-fresh crab, 2100 pounds of it, which was scrubbed, cleaned and iced by some 10 intrepid Lions and 5 Rotarians the day before.
Beer, music, and about $ 8,000 were donated to the cause, which helps keeping a healthy profit for both clubs, to be distributed to our dedicated charities and causes
After a few hours of smooth setup, the guests began to stream in, taking seats at the beautifully decorated tables, while listening to the Thrown Together Jazz Band which was in great form.
The kitchen was humming with numerous volunteers, preparing salads, cooking spaghetti, and baking garlic bread, while outside the hall, other volunteers, especially from the Fish Market, cooked the crab to perfection. Our servers this year were students of Monte Vista High; they were eager to help not only with waiting the tables, but also selling raffle tickets and cleaning up.
Over 20 raffle prizes went to some happy clients, while almost all silent auction items found a new owner.
After redecorating tables and a small break for the musicians, the volunteers enjoyed a slice or two of Pizza, before another crowd of almost 300 people showed up.
Again, our young helpers waited on the tables, sold raffle tickets, and keys to the lock box.
We thank the winners of the lockbox, who donated a total of $ 2, 000 to the victims of the Haitian earth quake.
A roaring thank you goes to all sponsors and volunteers of this event. Many of them already signed up for next year, including the volunteers of the Fish Market and the Band. The proceeds will be split with the Rotary Club, as usual, and will be distributed to our charitable causes.
