Initial Recap, Ride4Diabetes 2019, Final Update Pending: Leslye will be a liaison, net figure of 17,000, which makes it a viable event. That amount includes the grant, which we don’t expect to get next year. The leads in the event (Sudha and Simran) rose to a high level and took it over to make it successful. There are improvements to be made, but a positive event.
Project Linus, Hands On Fun, We Serve – Join Us! 17th of October at Oddfellows at 6:30. Leslye, Carl, and Joan will be getting the fabric tomorrow. 7.95 million blankets have been given by the organization.
Food Drive 2019 – Sign Ups Coming, Leadership Needed: Jen is the warehouse leader this year again, is it a good idea to have a “captain” at each location? Charlie and Herb are in for vehicles. Ellen will give the manager contact at Lucky’s on San Tomas and Pruneridge for the refrigerator truck accommodations. Recipient group communication will come from Jen, since she is managing the warehouse. Al can contact Rosemary School.Jeff has Mr. Gonzalez at Trace.
Busy Lion Calendar as above “Dates to Remember”:
Lion Ray mentioned Dec. 7th for Holiday Party would work for them, so we will float the date.
Good of the Pride, Any Lion:
Omar’s Dream Run for set up and break down on Sunday, October 20th.
Leo Volunteers for Crab Feed: can someone who attends the AM meeting contact the Leos about the Crab Feed. Possibly the teacher advisor at the high school could be contacted since the Leos can’t have their phone number published and teens don’t check emails very often. Having a crab feed volunteer chair would be helpful and having a crab feed committee.
Having a volunteer chair for the club who maintains the database and the forms for all the events.
EDGE Youth Leadership: they have a large number of students who need volunteer hours. Al has the contacts for this organization.
Visiting Lion Venkat working with a club in India and raised $500 for blind.
