6. For the 1999-2000 Budget, The FCC scholarship, Leader Eye Dog, and the United Way have not been dispersed. A motion was made by Lion Chris Murray to not fund the United Way at this time. Lion Charlie Beekley seconded this motion. The Board also recommends not funding this item in future years and dispersing the funds in a way that is more closely related to the mission of the Club. The Board is also considering naming the annual scholarship to FCC in honor of Jack Kushmaul, a long time member, instead of having the money go into the general scholarship fund. This topic will be discussed at the next Board meeting.
7. Lion Bill Simmons reported for the membership committee. He is planning on having a meeting at his home to discuss the best way to find quality members. The average age of our membership is presently 58. Bill mentioned the possibility of a weekend getaway for the Lion who brings in the most members or having a drawing with all Lions entered who sponsor a new member. Lion's International suggests having a Lions Friendship Day in February 2001. This would be a social. Lion Bill is working on this.
8. Lion Joe Craw has requested by letter to have his membership status changed from Active to Affiliate due to personal and business reasons. He still wishes to participate in the Golf Ball Drop ticket sales for our fund-raiser. A motion was made to accept this request with regrets. We appreciate all the hard work and time that Lion Joe has given to our Club.
On motion, the meeting was adjourned at 1:00 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Lion Jenifer Sutton, Secretary
