Crab Feed net 12,000 or so.We spent more on food and health department licensing. Carl and Jenni made it work. Shout out to The Fish Market for the 5 people that showed up and come every year. 8,000 from the Raffle-how great and thanks to Jeff and Steve and Ellen. We are signed up for February 8th for 2020. The other item is that we need to drive that relationship with the Leos and get a larger number. Scott and Pete stepped up in the kitchen.

6. Via West Camp (Costanoan) Annual Work Party: we have a long standing relationship with the camp and Lion Bill has been in charge. It would be great if another Lion might offer to help Lion Bill with this endeavor.
7. Charity Golf Classic 2019: Lion Ray needs help finding the google doc that Lion Amy did for the club regarding the Golf Tourney. He needs help to get this going in the right direction. Carl volunteers for being in charge of day of and he will ask Amy for the document. If everybody got one golfer and one tee sponsor, we would be golden. Dagi is working on the brochure and the link.
