ONEIDA-SHERRILL LIONS CLUB
MINUTES FROM 9/13/11

The organizational meeting for the 2011-2012 season was called to order by KING LION PAT Fearon at the Madison House Restaurant at 7 p.m., with these Lions in attendance:
Jerry Baker, Loyal Canning, Hal Chamberlain, Ernie Giraud, Mike Jaquays, Brenda Manaseri, Ed Miller, John Musgrove, Leif Nicolaisen, Ed Thoma, and Lou White, plus our perpetual guest Sukosh Fearon.

LION LEIF gave the treasurer’s report and it was accepted as read.

LION MIKE gave a program update, noting the next three meetings would feature Sherrill Recreation Supervisor Sara Getman, Veteran Images correspondent John Ready and author John Maxey. KL PAT suggested Patti McGee come in to discuss her new cancer guidebook, and it was voted to make Patti’s presentation our first spouses’ night of the season.

KL PAT asked the group what they wanted to do with the proposal to purchase benches for the city, and after discussion the proposal was defeated. LION MIKE suggested we give the Sherrill-Kenwood Library $500 this year instead of next, and that motion was approved. LION LOU also suggested we increase out scholarship donation.

The group was reminded to go out and get their placemat ad orders ASAP with a deadline of the first meeting in October for the money to be turned in.

Our hearing aid donation recipient wrote a nice thank-you letter, and LION MIKE will see about getting a photo for the paper and website.

LION LEIF distributed Enjoy the City books, and said Lions with needs for books in other areas should see him.

LION BRENDA offered to run the tag sale again, and the bottle drive was dropped.

LIONS LAURA Harrison and PAUL Manaseri were taken off the club membership rolls in good standing.

THE TAIL TWISTER brought in $14.32.

THE 50/50 awarded $14 to Lion ED MILLER.

The meeting was adjourned at 8:17 p.m.
