Eye Screenings: No report.
Pecans: King Lion George asked that anyone who still has nuts let him know; he’s doesn’t have nuts anymore but he does have potential customers with a need for nuts.
Christmas Benevolence: A check for $250.00 will be given to God’s Corner as agreed at our regular meeting last week.
Turtle Derby: So far about 1/3 of the money from the TD has been collected ($6350.00) Expect another $12,000.00 for this year’s race.
Lion Winn again suggested we use the Carver Center next year for all the reasons stated at the last board meeting and then some. It was agreed to discuss this seriously at the next board meeting so the proper posters and tickets can be agreed on and so we can get a favorable race date for 2015.
Lion Winton said that he will get with the Salvation Army to set Bell Ringing assignments.
New Business: As reported by lion Gough, PDG Chuck Bailey has expressed interest in helping us start a diabetes awareness campaign in the coming year(s). Lion Winton asked Lion Gough to talk further with Lion Bailey about what we would need to do get this started. Very little money would be needed but we might need a nurse.
Old Business: As soon as we receive Lion CB’s plaque for his award as one of the newest members (2014-2015 – inducted in November) to the Tennessee Lions Hall of Fame, DG Gibbons will notify LCIF that the $1,000.00 Melvin Jones award donation we voted for be made in Lion Willis’ name. Also, once we have said plaque, we will make arrangements to celebrate with Lion and Mrs. Willis; a singular festivity for this much deserved recognition and high honor.
Meeting adjourned at: 12.56 PM.
