Old Business
*More information received on the Diabetes Awareness Campaign. We will have it at Ro/Ro.
*Scott announced that at the last meeting we voted to purchase $1000 in eye glass certificates. However since then, $1100 worth of certificates were found by Zig in some Lions correspondence.
*Community Foundation: Scott contacted the CF to inquire if we could change the wording from a "Hononegah Senior" to "Any Senior residing in District 205" so we could include private and homeschooled children. We can do this on the Lion's sponsored scholarship, But not on the Loomis one as it specified Hononegah.

Motion by Jean and 2nd by Steve D to write a letter to the CF to request this change, as well as authorizing "the current Lion's President" to make any future changes as they have Dan Bellich on file to do any changes.

Motion to adjourn by Kerri Wallace at 7:22 - 2nd by Josh Brown - Motion Carried
