Still working to get some sort of musical program with the city schools that will be used as a memorial to Lion Jack Blackburn.
President Dean will try to get someone from the city schools to hear a presentation concerning Lion Quest. We also talked about sending a booklet about Lions Quest to the Superintendent and Assistant at the schools and invite them to the zone meeting in February to hear the program that Lion Paul Nutter will present.
In the continuing effort to get new members, the people who showed interest before will be followed up to see if we can get them to confirm their interest with an application.
NEW BUSINESS
Lion PDG Larry wants to start getting ready for the 90th Charter Party. Several possible locations were discussed and we will have more on this at future meetings.
A short discussion was held concerning a request for help for some people in Van Wert County would had a fire. It was decided that this type of thing, while worthwhile and needed, was not something that we should get involved in.
Many things for fundraisers were discussed. Seemed most of what we came up with involved selling some type of food at Square Fair or like occasions. The idea of Mexican hot dogs was very interesting and we will try to have more info on what permits are needed and the procedure to get a food booth started. The idea of trying it out at Star Spangled Spectular seemed to be well received, as we would be able to give it a trial run at a one-day affair and see how things turn out. Stay tuned. More later.
Next board meeting February 3 at Lock Sixteen at noon.
Motion to adjourn by Fred. Seconded by Julie Meeting adjourned at 1:05
Respectfully submitted, Larry Swords, Secretary/Treasurer
