Board Meeting – Lion John Smith reported on his and Lion Jim Gould’s meeting
with the Sunrise Rotary club concerning the participation and division of the
funds for the crab feed.  The Rotarians were concerned this was more about the
Lions trying to get the Rotarians out of the crab feed charity fund raiser.  Lion’s
John and Jim reassured them that it was not the case.  Lion Jim stated that it
was more about cohesion not competition.  Lion Al and Steve will send crab feed
information to Lion John so he can have it for future meetings with the Rotarians.
Lion Cliff stated that he would be available to help/review with any negotiations.
The next Crab feed is tentatively set for January 22nd, 2011.  Lion Prez Ray will
confirm the date.
