Old Business:

Zone Meeting- Lion Sandy and Lion Sue gave an update from the Zone meeting that happened at the Tuscan Grill. They also gave Lion Kim information on the John Deere Classic, Camp Lions, and Grants. They said the main focus of the meeting was on the centennial challenge.

New Business-

Meeting day - Lion Kim will be looking into whether we can move our meeting nights to Thursday night. It seemed to work best into everyone's schedule to get more people to attend meetings.

Google Hangouts - Lion Christina Fransen set up google hangouts for the club. This will give us the option to video chat the meeting so those unable to make it to the actual meeting are still able to attend. We need to get google emails from everyone in order to add you to the list.

Rose Day- Sell sell sell. Rose Day delivery is April 8th. We are still looking for drivers for Rose Day. All cards must be turned in by April 3rd. Let lion Kim know if you can help drive.

Easter in Shirland- We have been asked to do a crafty kids event on April 8th in Shirland since the Christmas one got postponed due to weather. It was decided we would decline because that is also Rose Day Delivery.

$3 fines for no pins.
