Golf Update – There were only 4 Lions in attendance. Lion Prez Steve discussed
the raffle and auction items and showed the Pat Coppe label for the water bottle.
Lion Steve talked with Lion Ron, Ray, and Charlie about the tee sponsors and
marketing efforts. As the P.M. group arrived Lion Prez Steve emphasized the
need for golfers. Lion Prez Steve said that he did a mass mailing of the golf form
to 296 golfers that took approximately 2.5 hours. Donations are doing better at
this time versus last year at this time. We have received 144 free pizza coupons
for the goody bag from Willow Street Pizza. We have also received a donation of
3 Black and White portraits worth approximately $750. We currently have about
$1800 in Sponsor fees and $700 in Tee sponsors.
Recap of P.M. Meeting – Attendance was sparse with only ten members in
attendance but it was kept lively and the Ludlum’s were the number one family in
attendance. Congratulations. Lion Mike Ringer talked about individual donations
and the possibility of the companies that the individuals work for will match their
donations. If this is promoted we could double our contributions from the
individuals. Lion Jeff said he would follow up on this.
Budget Meeting – There will be a Budget meeting to go over the final numbers of
the proposed 2010-2011 budget on Tuesday July 13, 2010 at Lion Prez Steve’s
house starting at 7:30 P.M.. We have currently received $497.16 from the
SaveMart save card that will go towards the new endowment fund.
Outreach – Lion Charlie stated that him and Lion Herb were waiting for school to
start again so we can contact the Campbell Middle school representative (Margo)
to see what the status is of the 5 coupons that they were provided.
Good of the Order – Lion Dagi talked about her trip to Italy and the Lion
Installation ceremony that she attended in Luca Italy. She said it was a gala
affair with a Cardinal from Peru in attendance. The Lions club has 140 members
and they meet once a month. The ceremony was a late lunch with everyone in
attendance dressed to the nine. They played 5 different national anthems for the
various countries the attendees were from. Lion Dagi presented the local Lions
club with our friendship banner. Lion Dagi and her story will be in the District
newsletter. Congratulations Lion Dagi and thank you for representing the
DeAnza Lions in this affair.
The DeAnza Lions received another Thank you letter from Via West for our hard
work and donation of materials to the camp along with our continued support.
Lion Bill also received a letter from the Wounded Warrior Project thanking the
DeAnza Lions for their generous donation to the project. Attached in this e-mail
is a copy of the letter in PDF format.
Opportunity Drawing – Congratulations, Lion Prez Steve won the opportunity
drawing and donated all of it to the Club. Thank you Lion Prez Steve.
