— Agenda —   

 

  1. Call to Order –  18:44
  2. Flag Salute – Li’l Lions
  3. Membership Award

 

We received an award from Chancellor Bob Corlew (immediate past international president) for reaching membership development goals in the year 2016 / 2017, along with a patch to attach to our banner.  Very cool!   We will be inducting new members at the Holiday Party.

 

  1. Thanksgiving Food Drive Recap, 2018 –

 

We exceeded expectations again this year, with the caveat that Jen took over the sorting center.  Great job, Jen!  We fed 160+ families.  Each family got 2 boxes of food.  Jen has agreed to do it again next year.  Hughes thanks the club from the bottom of their hearts.  

 

  1. Dandeli Eye Camp 2017 Recap

 

Our sister club in India running the Dandeli eye camp (possibly the 10th year we’ve partnered with this overseas club).  Screened 240 patients for cataract surgery.  They did 42 surgeries.  Awesome!    

 

  1. Another Try, Tracking Club Volunteer Hours  

 

Everyone is putting in hours, and we need to be able to track those tallies.  Ray’s method of tracking on paper isn’t scaling.  We need to let the district know how active we are.  

 

  1. Tailtwister/Holiday Party DELUXE

 

Thank you again to the Lancon’s for hosting.  Board has approved catering for the event.  

People should not bring food, but… bring beer / wine / booze.  BYOB

District Governor and his wife will be there.

 

  1. Crab Feed 2018

 

2 tickets for the 3/14 game donated.  Tracking well for donations.  

72 tickets for first seating sold.  An additional 70 pledged.

Things are looking solid, according to Lion Al.

Feb-1 work party.  Beer, wine… and good times.

Volunteering sheet will come out in Jan.
