Old Business:

We are reminded to bring items for the District Centennial Scrapbook project. We have until January to make our submission.
The 250.00 scholarship that was approved last month did not materialize. At the last minute the student did not need the funds. The money was designated to the Erwin Eye Care fund.
New Business:
The TN Lion’s Charities sent information regarding the Lindsey Jennings Fellow (award). This award has a $1000.00 donation requirement.
LCIF is requesting a donation to hurricane relief. Ed made the motion that we give 250 to Houston and 250 to Florida. Steve Campbell provided the second to the motion. All approved except Jerry Lonon who voted no because we did not help the Virgin Islands. Even at board meetings Lions have fun.
Our two big fund raisers are upon us. Turtle Derby sales are underway for the October 19th Turtle Derby. Pecan sales will begin soon after the pecans arrive. They will be ordered October 1st.
