We’re getting together the core team to do the truck and make arrangements with the store. More info to come from Ray on 11/1. Leos will be out to help. We need many hands on Monday morning at OddFellow’s Hall. Sign-up sheet will be a Google Doc.

Crab Feed 2019 – Everything is filled as of now. Jenni is taking over front of house. Jeff
Is taking over the raffle. Most positions are filled with the exception of the crab station.
Charles has taken over the tickets. Herb and Eli have taken over the bar (no comment).
Start selling tickets (verbally, for now: word-of-mouth). We’re going to try to do online
ticket sales this year. Crab feed meeting (likely the chairs) at Erickson’s house soon.

Good of the Pride
Leo Haven park is one of our district’s big projects. Groundbreaking on this important project will be Oct 13, 10-2. Food trucks and family. Come join in the fun!
We have an opportunity to raise some money for the club on upcoming the election day, Nov 6th. We raised $1,700 last year. Shifts are available. Registrar shifts are available in the morning and evening, as well. Contact Al Knox, if interested. There is a one-hour training session that you’ll need to attend before work.
Ray would like to thank all the people that donated money for John Noone’s passing. We raised approx. $3k. Amazing.
