Tail Twister: Lion Jim began by fining Lion Prez Ray for the running of the P.M. meeting.  Lion Eli gave a happy dollar for his appreciation to Lion Jim G. for helping him start his truck because the battery was dead after the P.M. meeting.  It seemed that Lion Eli is getting a little forgetful and I will leave it at that.  Lion Cliff donated $10 because he had missed a number of meetings.

Guests – Susan Huff of the League of Women Voters passed out a pamphlet on the various state propositions and discussed each.  She stated that the League of Women Voters does not take sides on the propositions they just inform people of the issues.

District Convention – Lion Prez Ray mentioned that at the District convention the DeAnza Lion’s placed 1st in their level for the amount of pull tabs

that were turned in. Thanks to Lion Kathy, Phil, Don and Steve’s efforts we were

2nd in eyeglass collections.  Thank you for all your efforts.  This was in competition with all the large clubs in our district.
