2nd VP Report: Lion St. Stormes
Bridge of Heroes Update: Lion St. Stormes said the flag sponsorships are officially sold out. Yay!!!! We had a very successful Memorial Day showing with lots of videos, posts, and feedback about the bridge. Flags will go up on Tuesday, June 30th at 11am for the July 4th holiday. They will be up for about 3 weeks to cover all of the 250th events going on around town.
Jeep Poker Run Fundraiser Stop – Lion St. Stormes said they made a lot of progress today. Gator’s has agreed to be a host site for the event. They’ll be putting out information for volunteers, etc. when Lion S. Camacho is back from her honeymoon. Lion S. Camacho did make a motion to approve a $1,000 budget for the event so they can start making purchases (like jeep ducks with the Lions logo/Marietta Noon Lions on them). The event will likely come in well under that for expenses though. Lion J. Greene seconded the motion. Lion B.

President’s Report: Lion P. Byers
Lion P. Byers presented items she’d received in the mail. There was no interest in sponsoring a brick. We did receive a letter from the Sternwheel committee asking for a donation. Lion O. Cartmell made a motion to donate $250. Lion S. Camacho seconded the motion and the motion passed.
Lion S. Camacho asked if we should discuss Lion G. Ingram’s proposal to the Lafayette about lunch which was the $15 flat rate with specific lunch options to be selected during the lunch RSVP to help streamline food options. The general consensus was that it was well written and makes sense and we’re going to send it to the Lafayette and add the options to the google doc rsvp form. If it doesn’t work, we can always change it. Lion J. Greene also mentioned it would be nice for the staff to not come in once the speaker has started so there aren’t interruptions on serving/clearing dishes while the meeting and speaker is presenting. We agreed we can relay this request to the staff at the hotel.

Updates from BoH Posted – Lion S. Camacho said she was excited to have to quickly adjust a post about how many flags were left for sponsorships and then change it to sold out.

We did Good of the order and adjourned. As part of Good of the Order, Lion S. Camacho gave an update on the state-wide shoe collection. Our club won the award at convention for the Most Soleful Club for collecting the most shoes. Ohio Lions Pediatric Cancer Foundation will get a check for $6,310 for the donated shoes and that money will be split with Kids Get Cancer Too who supports kids with cancer in ways that sometimes the OLPCF can’t because of the bylaws. Thank you to Lion B. Hadfield and Lion P. Byers for drinks and food tonight and to Lion P.Byers for her leadership as President this year.
Respectfully submitted, Secretary Lion K. Burnworth
