Virtual Flag Salute
Student Speaker Contest 2021 – Lion Ray: Lion Sudha and Lion Liang have reached out to the student community with 50 registered students. The preliminary event is on Feb. 27th, and will choose from that event 4-6 students. The Club, Zone, Region will be on Zoom. There may be an in-person event for the final competition, so we may have some students drop off who are not comfortable with that scenario. We will need volunteers for February 27th as tellers and timers. The Club contest is on March 6th. Discussion about how to run just our club preliminary event because we will have so many students at possibly 5 minutes each. This would be a very long day of speeches, so maybe break them into smaller groups for judging that could be happening simultaneously, with a judge, a judging sheet with criteria and hopefully a timer for each small group. Then, the judges can come together and discuss who moves forward.
Spirit of a Crab Feed 2021 – Lion Carl is sending out the PDF to us with the flyer and the letter so we can distribute to those we know usually go to the Crab Feed and on our social media. There was an idea to focus on Camp Via West with our funding, but we want some wiggle room, so the flyer also mentions that our fundraising could also donate our other worthwhile charities. Lion Sudha said she would send out the flyer to our Crab Feed email list. Carl will email her about it and Al will send her a spreadsheet. All should email those they normally include in Crab Feed and mass email, if they choose. We also need to have the donate button on the website, for the Crab Feed specifically.
Hunger At Home — Deanza Lions Day of Service, for anyone who wanted to go to an in person activity for 18 and over, possibly a Saturday in March, from 9-12. If interested, March 13th is the date that will work for Hunger at Home. Claire will send out a sign up sheet. This involves filling the food containers and labeling, and then when it opens to the public, bringing out the food containers to those who are in line.
Via Campus Projects –Lion Steve: train is running and if you want the video of it email Steve-thank you, Steve and Ellen! We want to get a sign made for the train structure as a recognition of the gift. Lion Jeff: Joan and Dagi are going up almost daily, with the help of Lions along the way to keep the gardening project going. There is another work day this Saturday from 9-1, if anyone wants to join. We would also like some signs as well for the garden. Steve built a table with the extra wood from the train project.
Charter Day 2021, April Date, Via Campus, Covid-friendly format: Charter Day in the amphitheatre. April 17, 11:00 to 3:00. Ray will get the insurance certificate (Leslie Davis). Picnic style-everyone will need to bring their own food and drink. Carl has an amp and a microphone. A hootenanny is requested.
