February Reverse Auction Lion Gennie

Slight change in plan for draw down. Original plan was to do an event but with the low amount of people it would bring in it was decided to separate dinner from draw down. Draw down tickets $25 with 1000 tickets being sold. They will be sold during Yeti Fest. Drawing during OSD. Last ticket pulled is grand prize winner. Lion Kerri asked to have info sent to her to put online.

Earmarking funds for projects? ½ to governor’s project and half to Eversight and the other half to the eye scanner district project. Lion Kerri made motion, Lion Karen seconded. Motion carried unopposed.
